We've had many discussions with shops, customers and other experienced designers. Inventory, especially lately, is a conundrum. We currently exist in a world of both immediacy and scarcity. Our decision with launching brand new designs is to do it on a 'pre-order' basis. It's impossible to know how a new design will sell. Over-ordering isn't fun; Even worse is not having enough for customers- Frustrating for everyone! This seems like the only way to ensure those who want to purchase can do so, guaranteed. We certainly appreciate your enthusiasm, support, purchases, and patience. Please know our wishes are to deliver our products to you as soon as they are available. Nothing is more pleasing to us than to see you happy, stitching our designs .
