First of all you are giving the material away, and I wish I could find fabric at $4 a yard regular priced.

Rule of thumb you charge the price of material +10%.

I would charge $10 a yard +10% for fabric

$12 to $20 +10% a yard for the batting depending on if its poly or cotton blend.

$5 a spool +10% for the thread

Then on the labor I would charge the going rate what ever that may be for your area. If its $10 hour then make sure you keep a log on how many hours it takes you to make it so you can charge accordingly. On a quilt I would bid it time plus material, but if you know it will only take you 10 hours to make the top then go ahead and charge them the $100 for labor.

I charge anywhere from $10,000 to $25,000 for a paint job depending on the amount of body work I have to do and how much custom fabrication I am doing like chopping tops and so forth.

I never discount anything for anybody and I always have a back log of folks waiting for me to work on their rides. I also never advertise its all word of mouth, I let my work do the talking for me.

What ever you do never undersell yourself!!
