before i say what i came here to say let me give you some background.
i started playing at the end of may and in that time i have created toons on BLOODFIN and NARITUS.
on bloodfin i have located all the poi's, done jabba, nym, and rebel theme parks and mastered Teras Kasi, Scout and ranger professions.
on naritus i have mastered merchant,architect, and artisan professions and done jabbas theme park as a novice tk.
i have been having problems finding active tailors that play at the same times as i do and i found myself in need of synthetic cloth from a factory crate, so i decided to get novice tailor. that was easy cause i already had plenty of extra general crafting xp.
i then realized that i would need to level up in tailor a little bit to get (cant remember the name) the material i need to construct merchant tents. i saw on the faq post that the best route would be to craft ribbed shirts in practice mode. NO WAY IN HELL i started and wanted to kill myself from the bordom of this grind.
i have a newfound respect for anyone who is beyond novice tailor.
/SALUTE
P.S. if anyones on naritus server send me a mail so maybe we can workout a deal for the parts i need for the merchant tents

It's really not all that bad if you have a macro (if you don't have one, there should be one in the FAQ somewhere).
The Image Designer grind for me was MUCH more endangering to my sanity. :-)

Truth be told you can have fun without being a master tailor so you really don't have to grind it out too fast.
But, if you do grind all the way to master I have to say that it is the most rewarding of all of the crafting professions. This is because in most every other crafting professions you have to start hunting down edless ammounts of specific resources at top quality just to make use of master status, this is different with tailor. Once you hit master you can make a most all of the items for the profession (even master items) with the resources you start with and components that are easily run in a factory during the grind.

Ive tried all crafting proffessions.
If you think Tailor is a hard grind, dont even attempt BE or Weaponsmith.
But i found tailor the most rewarding (as in fun, not credits) and i just am an addict, ive not left my shop other than to collect resources ever since i started. and this has held true on this server and my last.

I must agree with you about BE being a hard grind. Those three crafting trees took foreverrrr. Surprisingly, I enjoyed the DNA sampling tree, lol.
For me, WS was a GREAT grind (Thank the Heavy Warheads!)

I started working on tailor shortly after I began image design. I made the shirts/belts while doing stat migrations/changing my eye colour. I mastered tailor before I was even half way through image design so hopefully that gives you an idea of how the twocompare. Tailoring was a joy compared to the much more tedious task of mastering image design!

I agree, BE was hard, but I have fun with both that and tailor. I've been a mster tailor for a long time, so long infact, that there wasn't a "practice" option when I started and no one knew what a grinding macro was 
I don't think I'll ever be able to gice tailor up, it's just too fun to make up Super Hero costumes for my guild

i did BE twice once on my old server once on my new, the second time it took me 3 months due to sheer lack of motivation to grind through crafting, yet i did the DNA sampling in the first three days.

I was ID before the changes, so ive not been able to compare the two, however i often do my restocking while doing some ID changes on people in my shop
Also i remember the no practice mode also, have fond memmories of clogging up my crafting tools.
I used to think they broke from overuse and bought new ones.... sigh. I was master before i found out it was cos my inventory was full and an item trapped inside you can get back out.

Tailor is not that bad, not like docter or medic. If you dont like the grind dont do it for FS cause you need like 3000 cartridge belts for the first box, basicaly about 650,000 exp.

....another idea to get your factory crates....
Check the bazaar, itemdetails, for tailors names. I'd try to find tailors selling higher level items, like dusters. Then message them to ask if they are interested in making up a special order. I did this for some DE parts and found a craftsman who was happy to help out with anything I needed.
Good luck...

I tried grinding out a box or two here and there, but soon figured out that if I wanted to be a master (and I did) I'd HAVE to grind mine out in one fell swoop. I did this by getting a book, keeping one eye on it and one eye on my grinding macro, and I finished the entire profession (minus two boxes) in one day. However, this is an extreme path, how you gain master tailor should suit your individual preferences. However, it was nice to get it done quickly... although I'm not entirely sure what the book I read was about...
