I also hand quilt for other people. My normal charge is $.60 per yard of thread used. I know this is not a lot but I enjoy it. I have also now come to the time that I need to concentrate on getting some of my own quilts finished so my children will not have to have someone else quilt them. Guess according to these posts I do not charge enough. May have to rethink my prices if I accept another quilt to do.
