I am a long arm quilter. Some of my customers do expect me to piece their backs together, and iron their quilt tops, piece seams that are not a quarter inch, also take stright pins out of their seams. I will do these things for them, but I do charge them $15 an hour to do it. I think that is only fair. I have a pamplet with information on how to prepare a quilt. If they do not do it, then I will tell them at the time they give me the top, or call them when I find they did not turn in a top or back ready for quilting. If they do not want to pay the charge for my time, I offer to get the quilting pieces back to them for fixing. I think that is just fair. I am not redoing their work. I am just adding the machine quilitng to their work.
