I do machine quilting for people. I use an Elna 7200 Quilters pro Sewing Machine. I built me a 4X8 sewing table and put the machine down in the table. I charge$30.00 to machine quilt a baby quilt following a pattern, and $75.00 for a queen size following a pattern or free motion. These are the prices for these two sizes to give you an example of how much I charge. To bind it by machine, I charge $15.00 for a queen size. By the time I press, sandwich it together, and then sew it, I don't make a whole lot hourly wise, but I enjoy doing it. If I charged more, I would probably not have that many jobs. I furnished the thread, they furnish the rest. Am I way off on my price? To do a queen size quilt, it takes a lot of tugging and pushing to get it under the throat. I don't want the expense of a long-arm. I think I would rather move the quilt instead of the machine.
