It is a slippery slope. Most people who are NOT quilters do not understand how much time it takes to piece something. Think of how long it takes you to make a quilt for charity and keep track of your time. Think of how much fabric you will need for a project. Then you have to figure out what your time is worth. I would always pass on any saving as far as thread and fabric to my customers. It is NOT easy trying to please someone else's taste that might not be yours. I find it more enjoyable making quilts for charity then trying to please some customers I had. Good Luck and tread slowly and carefully.
