Check with the larger department stores and/or your drycleaners for what they charge for "alterations".

Excellent article and comments. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the article, I think it is a priceless piece of knowlege to always keep in the backs of our minds. I have sold one quilt & got $300 for it, even then I thought it might have been a bit low, but it was to a very good friend for his wife for Christmas. I felt honered that he thought it was good enough for his wifes present. Most quilts I make I either keep or give away, and the giving parts feels good.

Great article, thanks.

Good article, lots to think about here. It gets me when people ask for donations for charity auctions, sales, etc., and a beautiful quilt goes for less than what the cost of the materials would be. I've rather give a check than the quilt.

Thanks for the information--Lots of "Food for Thought" in this thread!

Thanks for the link....

Tess I really liked your response to the ungrateful recipients, you clearly stated all you have done, which made them aware and ended it with I love you and Jesus loves you. Just so perfect. I understand you have forgiven and that is best for you. It was human to be hurt by their actions.
