I had someone ask me to make a quilt once. I told her it'd be $160. She said, "Man, you charge alot." She promptly went and asked someone else to do it. This kindhearted lady made it at her own cost - out of batiks that we all know cost more. She used some scraps from her own stuff, but did put out money and tons of time - really though it out and all... not a dime was given. It's a shame. This same lady asked me to make something else for her... I said, "So we are on the same page it will cost xxx amount of dollars." She said no thank you but I will take a _____ and mentioned another article and I gave her the amount of that - she says she'll pay it. I'm holding off making it just because I'm afraid I won't get the money... be firm about a price and stick to it!!
