Oh, that's actually not that bad. :3
Yep. I had an order last year where I had to make about 300 alpha bracelets, so I got a lot of practice in. And since I undercharged, I did my best to make any changes I could to get faster.
Wow... That's a lot of bracelets. Practice makes perfect, I guess. 
Yep, and that was only the part of the order that I did. The whole thing was for over 1000 bracelets (though not all of them were alpha). Worst order of my life.
I would imagine so! I've only had to make about 4 of the same alpha bracelet and I'm already ridiculously tired of and annoyed with it. xD
