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.
That's exactly what I was thinking.
Quiltwiz, do you cut and seam the binding yourself?
Thanks!
I prefer to cut and seam the bindings myself, but I charge the same either way. I also hand stitch closer together than most bindings I have seen. I am not as fast as those of you here, but I do get the work out in a timely fashion.
