An acquaintance of mine has been asked to make the quilt featured in a Quiltmaker magazine and wants me to help her since she does not have an embroidery machine. I have only seen the pics online and I do not know the exact stitch count, but there is a lot of embroidery showing in the pic. This is a gorgeous quilt, but it looks extremely labor intensive to me. I am going to decline doing the embroidery as I do not have a business, just a hobby. She told me she was going to quote a price of $500 and asked my opinion. I told her she would have to charge at least $1000 to make a small profit. Without knowing the exact stitch count, I am guessing it is going to cost close to $500 for the embroidery alone. I think this is a lovey quilt to make as a gift for a family member or dear friend, but not for sale.
What is your opinion, maybe I am wrong??????
