How to price is always difficult and it is a sore spot with me as I have been criticized for my pricing. Pricing veries greatly in different areas of the country. In my area there are at least 30 quilters, maybe more. All seem very helpful exchanging ideas, hints and suggestions until it gets to pricing. Then nobody seems to want to say what they charge. I believe pricing for a panto can range from .009 cents per square inch to 2 cents per square. Custom, I think, starts around 1.5 cents per square inch and goes upwards. Heirloom can begin at 4 cents or more.
