Not that I have ever done quilting for anyone but I have done plenty of sewing for others. One thing I found out quickly is never hand the goods over until they have paid in full. Second thing was that most people do not appreciate how much time you put in to any project and are usually shocked when you give a price and I did not charge high prices!! Someone objected to paying my price for a tutu and when I wouldn't budge on price (it was a steal), they had to go somewhere else and ended up paying the equivalent of $120 more than I was charging :)
