Anette Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 I'm just starting a custom quilting business and want to put the longarm quilting costs per square inch on my forms. Currently, I have .015 for pantographs, .025 for custom quilting, .06 for heirloom and stitch-in-the-ditch quilting, and $200 extra for trapunto. Can anyone tell me if I am in the ball park? As a new person in this business, I would offer discounts to customers at first. I feel it is easier to offer discounts at first than it would be to raise my prices later. Are these prices reasonable for, say, the next year or so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LA Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Hi Anette, Are you offering all of these services now? Meaning, are you able to do the custom & trapunto etc.? If not, wait until you have mastered it before you do, as that will help you determine your prices with the time it takes to excute the quilting. Depending on your area, it sounds very reasonable!

Anette Posted June 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Thanks for the response. I will remove the trapunto from the form. Good idea!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarieBrewer Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 In my area of the country, a beginner charges .01 per sq. inch. Custom isn't an option until the LA's is better than I am. Consider a minimum charge because I did a baby quilt for $14. Is that stupid or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
