Don't mean to be nosey, but wondering what the going rate for binding a quilt is? I help out my LQS owner by binding and get a free class occasionally or some fabric and I once got a quilt top quilted, but I had to pay for thread and batting. I had volunteered to help
out when she needed it, but now wondering if I should ask for payment. It's getting harder to do with arthritis. If you want to pm me that would be ok. Thanks!
