Jratcliff and Kay's Quilting, if you make a pillow top with ties, you'll get a better idea of how much to charge. I made a tie quilt and said I would never make another one. The ties have to be unstitched, washed, dried, fused, cut, sewn, and quilted. It was alot of steps using slick materials. So many more steps than simple cotton fabric. And to tell the truth, I don't think they would stand up to usual quilt wear and tear. The weave is so different, I have mine hanging. I still have ties left and have considered making small art quilts for my siblings but so far, I haven't had the gumption to start.
