That is so sad to think how hard you work, do a nice job of it and can only get 5 pennies for it! My family , 9 of us, worked all our working years sewing for people and were always considered "not a real business"! What makes this so? If you do work on a sewing macine, is that less than an honorable job that should pay a living wage?Off my soap box now, I don't think $30 is too much. I've made quilts (queen size) hand quilted and tied ,the most I could ever get was $250 and had to give 25% of that to the shop where they were sold!I must say, also, they were beautiful!! :-( :-( :-(
