I am new to longarming, but a fellow longarmer charges 1 cent per square inch for charity quilts - haven't asked what she charges for regular stuff - she does beautiful work - I can only hope to get as good - I just finished my own king-size quilt (100 x 120) and it took almost four hours of sewing time and nine bobbins of thread on the longarm (not counting loading, advancing, etc.). I did an edge-to-edge pantograph on it. 12,000 square inches = $120 (1 cent) and $180 (1.5 cent). If I charged 1 cent then I would be making $30/hour and that seems like pretty good wages to me ...
