when i make them for friends, i charge for supplies, longarm quilting, binding. (normally $250 for queen size quilt) but i explain to them that if for someone else it would cost $## that way if they are going to send you customers they know what to say about what the cost will be.

How do you determine what to charge? She picked out material from my "stash" so I don't have to go buy anything "new".

But I have no idea what to charge her.

I've done the double fleece tie blankets (I have a 6 head embroidery machine) and I"ll put names and school mascots on them and usually charge $25 to $45.00 depending on how big they are but that is because the polar fleece can get expensive.

This is much more work in my opinion....

Thoughts?

Just my opinion,but even though it was already in your stash,you still had to buy it right? When I was starting out I know I let people take advantage of me. One older woman in the fabric shop asked me about my prices and when I gave her a different price on quilts I had to buy fabric for,she said that all that fabric had to be bought at some time.If you're going to sell a quilt think of it as a business. Don't let anyone take advantage of you.
