Guess that depends on your relatives! My DMIL had me LA quilt a queen sized quilt she had cross-stitched decades ago - the kind with the blue lines to follow for hand quilting! The blue lines would no longer wash out and she couldn't hide the blue with her hand quilting thread and that's why I got it. I used blue thread to match the blue lines (good thing her cross-stitching has the same color blue in it) and faithfully followed the lines with my LA. I didn't know what to charge her, so she gave me $500...I gave most of it back, but it was nice to know she valued my work!!! :thumbup:
