If you only charge.015cents a sq. in. for ameander you will have more bussiness than you can handle. But you can work yourself to death. You need to charge a substantial amount to pay you for set-up[ it takes approx. 30 to 45 min. to set up a queen size quilt.] Also you have your patterns you've bought. I checked prices on the internet and just came up with prices that I thought people in my area would pay. So far I have my customers coming back. If I have heavy custom quilting I charge from 3 to 5 cents a sq. in. Loose to tight meandering .02 to .028cents. STD is custom work. You need to charge for your work because those large quilts wear you out on a home machine. Most people don't want to give out their prices but you have to start somewhere. There are thousands of quilters and piecers. Not everyone wants to quilt
