for me? 1.5--3 cents a square inch, all custom work, no pantographs and binding is $9/yd (machine on side 1 and then hand sewn on side 2)... you pay mailing to me, i pay to mail it to you.
the batting is provided for your convenience, but i charge the same thing i pay and i provide the thread unless it is variegated, which is really expensive. i will either weigh and charge for only what i use, or buy the cone you want and send it back with the quilt.
you send a completed and ironed quilt top along with backing that is 6 inches longer and wider than the top are provided by the quilter. it is trimmed or not trimmed according to request and cost no more or less.
I also charge 35 dollars flat to baste a quilt for hand quilting, with a 6 inch grid, same requirements and provisions as above.
