Had one lady call me a few days ago asking if I would finish a quilt top that a neighbor had given her. Of course she thought because I "like to quilt" I could hand quilt it for her. When I quoted a price, she said, "Oh my, I could buy 3 blankets for that." Makes one wonder why they feel entitled to "free".
    I think the answer for the people who think the price you charge should be little or nothing is, "It's much less than a plumber or electrician would charge to do the job." (I recently paid a plumber $70 for the 10 minutes he spent lighting our water heater.)

    Yes, JoAnnB... so right. My husband and I own an appliance repair store - they make more money because of the service they provide as should we!! Not everyone can fix an appliance - not everyone can quilt/sew!

    Do any of you do advertising for sewing work on this board? I think you should. Your work is beautiful.
