Having been in the long arm quilting business (plus t-shirt quilts) for about a year now, I'd pass along the suggestion I was given to start with the prices you intend to charge. If you are uncertain about your abilities, donate your initial work to charity. Sure it means that things start slow, but it will happen if you stick with it. And it's hard to start at a low price and then increase (although lots of people will suggest that to you)--at what point do you increase that price? Plus materials are static and don't start low!
