I used to be heavy into cross stitch and I had a favorite shop I went to. One of the reasons I liked her was because she carried imported linens and fabrics. She was smart. Once I told her what I wanted she would calculate how much it would cost and tell me BEFORE she cut anything. There were a few times when I said "what?" and went with a lower priced piece. For a quilter that might mean that your client would go somewhere else. None of these civilians understand how much it costs to put together an heirloom.
