Boy, was I cheap. For some stupid reason I like doing bindings. A friend at guild didn't like binding quilts, so I would do them for her. She would give me a gift card of $50 for 10 queen to king size quilts. I didn't know what the going rate for binding was, but I found out when we had a program about binding quilts at guild meeting. She doesn't make the large quilts now, and has her quilter do them by machine. lol
