Around here stippling goes from any where between .01 - .02 per square inch... but some charge a mimimum set up fee ..some charge for bobbins.. some charge for thread..some charge a trimming fee if you what the excess fabric trimmed... some charge for all of the items I listed ! I can tell you what I feel comfortable paying.. .0125 or .015 per inch .. no set up charge no extra charges that is for stippling. It also depends on how tight or close the stippling is. I paid a LQS .0225 for all over stippling , paid the mimium set up charge .. and got stippling that was about 5-6 inches apart... needless to say I found others .
