WOW! You're not going to find better prices. Next question would be quality. BTW, are those prices for FM quilting, pantograph, custom work?

I didn't want to appear to be nosy, so I didn't look too closely, but I think they may have been converted to treadle.

Those prices are really good. Around here we average 1 1/2 cents a square inch So a forty by forty inch crib quilt runs more than they are charging and some add the cost of thread to that.
|
I have allways been told that 1-1/2 cents per square inch was the norm
|
That is really low. I have heard of people paying over 200.00 for a double quilt and higher for kings.

I would definately want to see some of their work. It could be that the stitching is large. The prices are definately not much per hour.
Long arm prices too high?? I do mid arm quilting some a few customers, and when you figure expenses, the time involved, you aren't working for very much an hour. Figure out how long it takes to piece a quilt and then decide how much you are making an hour. If your work away from home, you will see what I am talking about. It's always been that way with handwork and a lot of other things women do, most people don't want to pay for what it's worth. I'm not wanting to start a big discussion but just stating my opinion. |
Here in Montana, prices range from 1.5 to 2 cents per sq inch so these prices seem reasonable.
|
I pay $40 for crib, $80 lap, and $120 for a queen which includes the batting. No binding, and I trim it up myself.
