I am a LAQer and I do not expect a tip. If I expected more then I should charge more. Some of my customers do add a little to their bill and I accept it gracefully. I always make sure each quilter, tipper or not, knows I really truly appreciate that they continually bring their quilt tops to me to finish--that is thanks enough. Seeing what everyone is making is like having my own little quilt show all the time, what could be better.
