When I did the binding for the 96 x96 quilt, it took an afternoon to machine sew the binding on the first side--------and two evenings in front of the TV to do the hand stitching. No real hour count.

I love to sit on the couch with a big beautiful quilt (or small) all cuddled in, watching a movie and stitching those tiny little stitches that put the final touches on a masterpiece!! Wow, If your need binding done pm me!!

Great idea. Maybe you can promote your service through local long arm quilters to build referrals.

My LQS charges ((L x 2))+ ((w x 2)) x .15 So to hand sew the binding to the back only would cost you on a 50 x 50 would be $30.00

I like the hand stitiching part too. I find it relaxing
and I can sit and watch tv with hubby ( unless he is watching
one of his really awful shows).

Certainly not,not my favourite bit but ALWAYS do it myself.

I charge 1.50 per foot for machine sewing front and back. If it will be machine sewn on and hand sewn on back, it is 3.00 a foot. I do a lot of hand bindings for the girls that want to put their quilts in the shows as I use a real fine thread and you cannot see my stitches on the back. As for my own quilts..........mostly machine, I'm tired of working on them by the time binding comes around.lol

I just paid $15.00 to have a large throw about 59 x 76 and that was machine stitched on the back and she folded over and hand stitched looked great. She has also machine stitched and did the whole thing for for $20.00 before and the same for hand or machine. She is a streamstress with a small office right next to mine. I think she just does this for me but I hate binding and love her prices. I would no way pay $50.00 plus to have a quilt binded. My sister has a long arm and she only charges .01 per square inch to quilt!
