Charging a Set up Fee

Recommended Posts

Hi Helen,

I have a minimum charge...$50...that covers it if someone wants me to quilt just a table runner....or what I suggest to my clients is that if they have 2 smaller items and they are okay with the same batt and backing, I work out a reasonable charge as I am only loading the back and batt one time, I quilt them freehand.

Hi Helen,

As a lot of others who longarm, I have a minimum charge. This will make the customer think a bit before asking you to quilt the smaller items such as placemats/tablerunners and some baby quilts. If you figure your going rate per square inch on small stuff, you go backwards FAST!

My minimum is $50.

If you don't want to charge a minimum, a fairly standard set-up fee is $15. Let your customer know it is a better deal than instituting a minimum charge and covers your intake time, loading, and pick-up time.:)
