I always insist the person come to the quilt shop with me after choosing a pattern. They choose the fabric with my help, thread, and backing. They know up front the machine quilter's cost and the cost of binding. After seeing all the totals on paper before my labor charge is usually enough for them to say let me think about it. Usually citing the indecision of fabric colors while in the shop. I rarely hear back about me making a quilt and I don't ask.
