Machine stich to front, hand stich to back.

After Googling prices, I think my dime per foot is low.

Any other thoughts?

I think 10 cents per foot is too low. I don't think 15 cents is unreasonable. For the person who hates to do binding, $30 for the quilt you mentioned is a great price. Just my humble opinion. Don't sell yourself short. Your time is worth $$$.
