    I copied the URL and it doesn't work. There is no such link. And I can't find anything like that from their home page (deleting everything after .com)

    To make a live link, click on the icon of the world above the reply box before you copy or enter the URL.

    Good link, and as an accountant, and many times invloved in production costs, makes sense. But putting a price on your time, that is the catch.

    Find out what sewing goes for in your city. You know, bridal gowns, alterations, mending, etc. In my area in 1991, it was $25 per hour. Now, 20 years later, it must be at least $30 to $35, wouldn't you say?

    Check with the larger department stores and/or your drycleaners for what they charge for "alterations".

    Members of my family is always telling me that I should try to sell quilts and earn money off my quilting. Never mind that it takes me forever to sew a quilt and that they are not perfectly made!
    So I just sent this great article around to them so they could understand better. My favorite comment was "when a quiltmaker makes a quilt more valuable than the market could possibly bear, the quilt is usually destined to be a labor of love rather than paid labor"
