Per running foot of bound quilt seems like a good place to start. What would you think of 15 cents per running foot? That would be $30 for a 50" by 50" baby quilt. Hmm, seems like too much. Maybe a dime per running foot, which would be $20 for that dimension baby quilt.

Is there any other quilt binding service that anyone knows of?

Thanks for helping me think!

I used to charge 10 cents per inch, but went up to 15 cents per inch and no one complained. I put it on by machine and hand stitch it down on the back...double fold French binding...mitered corners.
