Add in the binding charge that I would estimate at about $25, and you are up around $90 to $105.
Treat this as a learning experience, and don't take another quilting job unless the terms are agreed to (and written down!) before you start.
You are so right. Yes this is my learning experience and yes, from now on there will be an agreement and I will chg by the inch. My biggest problem is I really don't think I am that good to chg so much. You ladies here on the board are soooo talented. P.S. Yes Jan in VA, I have to admit that I must have been nuts when I agreed to this. LOL
