in my area (KS) most charge 1.50--1.75 for simple pantos (paper or digital) and go up from there. For more dense pantos/edge to edge, I charge 2cents/sq. inch--but I don't charge extra for # of bobbins used as some do. and for custom quilting, I start at 2.25cents/sq. inch and go up from there. Would add that there are a couple of area quilters that charge WAYYYY less--one charges $9/sq.foot and the other is more in that range.
Several of us just bumped up from the starting point on custom from 2 to 2 1/2cents per sq. inch
While many of us keep busy enough (I don't want to be doing too many customer quilts!), we are all seeing the impact of a number of area quilters purchasing sit down models, working on smaller projects that they quilt on their DSM, or even renting quilting time at some area shops. Are others noticing these trends?
