Default call longarmers in your area

[QUOTE=FURBALLS;7157997]Was asked by a lady how much would I charge to quilt a quilt for her. Said I needed to see it see it first. She brought it by and I agreed to do it. We never settled on a cost. Boy did I bite off more than I could chew. The quilt was flannel, back and front, and had polyester batting. Plus she wanted to use the backing for the binding. Well, learned that quilting flannel and polyester on my DSM was really hard. Plus the fact that this is the first time I had ever brought the backing to the front to bind. Anyway, I just finished it and figured I would charge maybe $40 to 50 for the work. The quilt is 64x42. Do you think that I will be charging to much?

Call other longarmers in your area and see what they charge. Price varies a long in my area, from custom work (very high) to edge to edge with same pattern overall. Don't get in a trap where you are so cheap that others will want the same price. Charge the same as other longarmers plus the binding.
