Well I'm in this dilemma also kinda...I was asked by a friend if I would make and embroider on 6 cushions. Um well yes of course I would...Now I don't know what to charge. I had to purchase the designs, material, stabilizer cushion forms for inside ect. Each design takes at least 1/2 a day, each cushion will match each other. So 6 cushions, 3 designs and roughly 72 hours to stitch out as these designs had a lot of color changes...in one design there were over 32 color changes whew.....I was thinking at least $25/cushion...and I'm probably losing money but this friend is very special to me so I don't mind. If cash is tight for this couple then I would suggest giving money....
