Whether you paid thousands of dollars for a machine or it is a passed-down machine, that was just her way of seeing if you would do it for free or being nosey about how much you are spending on your hobby. I only do things for free for "some family members". Others who have been nosey in asking, "How much would it cost to make a quilt for me?" I answer it this way... With the price of fabric, thread, batting, longarm quilting and my time- it is in the range of $925-1100 for a queen size quilt with a deposit of 50% up front once you buy the fabric.
