That is very low.
I start at 3 cents a square inch however this includes the batting,thread and the quilting, this is for simple pantos or edge to edge, and shipping back to the cust.
If I provide the backing it's 4 cents a square inch.
Custom starts at 5 cents and up.
Heirloom and trapunto is 10 cents.
I only use Warm and Natural, Quilters Dream or Pellon batting.

I surely would send my quilts out to someone like this for that price. I wonder if that is handquilting ar machine? I have always wanted to have a hand quilted quilt...making the top myself but having someone do the quilting. Would love to know more about this and if they take shippe3d in tops.

I live in North Alabama and I already posted the prices for a quality LAQ in our area. I own a home in Florida that is 2 bedroom, 1 bath, 1 car garage on a very small lot and taxes are $2700 a year and has an appraised value of $159,000. In Alabama, our taxes on 11 acres on a State highway with a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 story home were around $375 a year. I think sometimes it is relative to where you live and what prices the area can handle. This is just my opinion.

I charge .01 psi using my thread at no additional charge. I used to charge for the thread, but got advice from some one on the board about the pricing. It's not something I want to do full time. I don't like the messy quilts I sometimes get. I didn't think I was picky until I saw some things turned out by others. One quilt I had to return bc all four sides were a different size.
