MastiffMomQlt Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 I FINALLY did my first 'paying' client's quilt top. It was a beautifully pieced flannel top & backing wool batting large queen sized quilt.She's been a color client of mine for ten years & knows my quilting work & work ethic. I critical of my work & was pleased with how it turned out. I hoped that she'd be pleased. She was so delighted with her quilt not only did she pay me for my work & the batting, she gave me a $37 tip!!!! When I went over the work order/receipt with her, she said, "That's it?!?" I quoted her my light custom price BEFORE I started, during our consultation & that's what I charged her, plus the batting plus trimming, which was also specified in our consultation. It's ready for binding. ta da!!! Now, let's see if I can get a few more excellent clients like her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
