Here, Here. I agree 100%. When I do custom work, I don't cut prices, but give an honest estimate of my time and materials. If they accept it, fine. If not, who cares? I have a reputation for doing quality work and won't underestimate my value for services. I have very few customers who want me to reduce my prices, because they know I won't. I have reminded some that for the money they want to spend, they will have to look at WalMart. Most of my customers never ask price if they really have something in mind and want it. I am always careful to write down each request and detail for a custom job and then note the finished price (not an estimate). I have never had anyone walk away. I don't do estimates on the phone either. Those are just looky-loos and they want to compare with every other quilter they can find.
