I was thinking rough estimates on material needed for a certain amount.
Make however many possible with that material and sell at cost +donation+postage etc according to how many we got out of the material.
If there is demand or not enough were made then go again?I guess there would need to be a backing material which may or may not be reflective to hold it together as a polished product as well as structurally.

If new year is okay for people, that reduces stress on me as I still need to get the machines back to the UK (or sell and buy again once back).
I want to make sure that @velocio makes some pennies from this, and so long as it's not weeks and weeks of my life then I will happily trade my time for others' money to donate to lufguss.
Key considerations for me/other-stitcher-people is design, and per pizza how much time and how much material. £8+vat on the base material may make the lfgss profit margin very slim.
Like all estimates we need to add x% for fuck ups and unforeseen toppings.
Are toppings glued or sewn?
Is the base side an extra layer? What material?
What material is used for the loops, and do we need to cost the tool for fixing (ie big rivets)?
Do people care about wobbly stitch lines?
What is a rough cost (+x%) per pizza?
What is the price paid per pizza?
How do we get them delivered?
What is the timescale?
I'd be very happy to five-finger the excess material in return for doing this, depending on how efficient the design is (is there even any useful material left over?)...
Let's overcomplicate this then complain about it, and make it simple again.
