A doctor in our office asked me if I could try to repair some quilts for her. She bought some high dollar designer quilts for her daughters' beds (triplets!), then threw them in the washing machine, and they started coming apart!! I told her I would look at them, and I would keep track of my time and charge $10 an hour to repair them. She never brought them to me. Go figure...she'd rather, I guess, throw them out than pay to have the morbidly overpriced things fixed!!
