I see no reason to charge less than a "professional" shop either. Let them shop it. It could turn into a headache.
One of the reasons a "professional" shop needs to charge more is because they are working in a building other than their own house and need overhead allowances. An embroiderer working from their own house would have less overhead because because part of the building is being used as living space.
