Help.... How much????
#1
I made this wall hanging for my Brother and sister-in-law for Christmas... a friend of hers saw it and would like me to make her one and said she would pay anything for it... I have no idea how much to charge. I know you don't get paid for your time that you put into projects, but I don't want to charge too much or too little. So I haven't given her an answer yet... please help.
Wall hanging 45" x 45"

Figure the cost of materials & multiply that by 3. Make sure to get a deposit before starting the project.
or
I like to have the person I'm making the quilt for purchase the materials. That way, they get a better understanding of the costs involved.

I agree with everyone on the pricing, but also agree on duplicating this for someone else. Maybe she would have a special little saying she would like on hers that is different.

Everything I've read says to charge 3 times the cost of the materials involved, including thread, etc., other than that I don't have a clue, but I would recommend getting a good deposit before doing anything.
