I'm another Longarmer for hire here in Texas, just east of Dallas. I'm with the majority with my price range. Bobbielink, you're selling yourself short on your talents & your profits with your prices so low. It also gives customers a wrong impression as to what should be charged for our services. We've spent a lot of money for our machines ($10,000+), threads, tools, rulers, classes, etc. In general, about 4 times what general quilting stuff costs. To recoup any part of it, we have to charge a reasonable fee. As our skills improve & our demand gets greater, we can then raise those fees accordingly.
To answer you, BusyLizzie, .02 cents per square inch is pretty much the standard for an overall edge-to-edge pattern.
