    Great advice, Lorena! I am new to long-arming and still struggle to decide what to charge. I have a few clients now and my work for them has run the gamut from E2E meander (.02/sqin) to custom quilting (.05/sqin). So far my clients have been very happy with my work and the price I charged them, so I guess I'm on the right track! Love your channel! :)

    You're so right about pricing, and thanks for sharing your method. Everyone knows, that if you're going to stay in business, you have to make a profit. BUT --- I will patronize a business or artisan if they are genuine and charge a fair price EVEN IF it's more expensive. You can buy a product, but you can't buy craftsmanship/the artist's eye or a loving attitude. Yes, I say "loving" because an artisan really wants the client to enjoy and appreciate the work that you've done for them, at a fair price. And, like you say -work with your clients! What's that saying - "They may forget what you said - but they will never forget how you made them feel." Make your clients feel wonderful!

    Thanks for a great video; very helpful. In the 70's, I was making & selling crib quilts and/or covers, nap-time covers for little kids & doll cover & pillow sets, which I mostly gave as gifts. When people saw them, they all wanted the same for their kids. Once I had a problem with a customer, who I did not know who found me selling at a church bazaar. She ordered a doll cover/pillow set, patchwork in white & peach fabrics. Covers were 20" x 11" w/an appropriately sized doll pillow, all lined in cotton or cotton-poly, trimmed all around with lace & were utterly charming. The two-item set I priced at $8.00 (special order) which she thought was a good price. I did not say anything about "special orders" at all but items on the sale table were all priced at $6.00/set. She gave me half down & it was ready in a few days as promised. But when she wouldn't return my calls or answer post card reminders I mailed, until 6-7 months later, I wouldn't return her money or give her the set. She stopped by without her child & had no reason for her behavior other than she was busy! She was a bit huffy but did understand. So just giving a set price, without itemizing items like thread separately, is the best way to go if it can be managed. I had one price for crib sets, one for nap sets & one for doll sets except for that one customer who was charged two dollars extra because I had to source peach-colored fabrics & she wanted it fast. I'm thinking of doing that all again now that retirement is here.

    I love how open and honest you are! I read all the comments so far and it still re-affirms to me that quilting will always be my hobby and not my business. I wish I could send my quilts to you to quilt but it will have to wait. For now I can only afford to do it on my domestic machines but as soon as I have a "real job" I'll be sending you business because I live in the DFW area. Happy quilting!

    I have been quilting for 2 years. I still charge a set amount for a certain size with one applique. They are always custom. I don't make money, but love what I do. Loved your video! I have been thinking of revamping my charges. I have lots of return customers. But I stick to large squares or simple patterns. I don't do beautiful scroll work. Love people who can. LOVED you video. Will take several things you noted to help me change my prices. Thank you. :)

      @mashabymasha7804 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      in most areas quilting starts from 0.015. so,0.02 not much,very reasonable. In general,if you start charge less,you will be non-profit.

    • @ToniNov25
      @ToniNov25  4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      At the quilt store in my area the longarmers charge .02 cents a square inch to quilt. I used to charge .0175 So I guess I got this number based on how other longarmers in any area charge, it is different in every state. And to be honest I don't know how they came up with this number system. When I started in 2008 it was .015 which is a cent and a half which is what I was told to charge when I started long arming and when I purchased my machine. I went to a company and asked them how to charge clients and in quilting it is based on how many square inches each quilt has and have a set number to charge accurately. Now each quilt is a different size, By 5 inch or by 2 inch and this give you a more accurate way of charging instead of giving a set amount when some quilts do vary by 10 to 20 inch each. Like this quilt I have 3 of them and the measurements will be totally different but still be considered a queen like a 98 x 100. This give you a more accurate way to charge and it is consistent. When you get large number its 9800 then multiply .02 it comes out to $196.00 to quilt it. Which this is still considered a quilt with a larger amount of square inches and which will take some more time to Longarm. When people say I have a queen size quilt,,, it can be a small queen size quilt or it can be significantly larger queen size quilt. Because quilt top makers quilts are not consistent like manufactures.

    Thank you so much for this video. I just found your channel and work in the service industry. What you said about referrals, trust in customer relationships, and the unhappy ones who tell anyone and everyone who will listen to them, the bad they have to say on you, is ABSOLUTELY on point! It depends on whether or not the clients desire a meaningful and lasting relationship with the service provider. Both the clients and service providers reap the benefits. As a self imposed rule, I follow my heart as my guide and do my best to please them. I invest my heart and effort to produce a quality product. There are times it is either overlooked or not appreciated. Not to be discouraged, I understand that it is impossible to please everyone. Nonetheless, I will give and do my best with the exception of when they disrespect me by telling me how to do my job. Excuse me? Are you licensed in my field?! However, once a relationship is established, I too am trusted with their family members and friends to do services for. I appreciate this and do not ever take this trust for granted. Our customers are our livelihoods. Thank you again.

      Hi Pennie. Where do you live? I am in Chilliwack BC. and fortunately my neighbour across the street has a long arm machine. You could check the Mom and Pop Quilt Shop in Ontario and Sparrow Quilts in Edmonton. Both also have great TH-cam channels. Mom and Pop do live streams every Saturday, but Laura-Lynn does quilting on her Gammill for clients too.

    I'm just a beginner and I mean "very wet behind the ears" as a quilter. I've only made 1 successful quilt and working on one now about 1.5 times bigger than the last. Watching your video helps a lot in knowing that if I decide I need someone to quilt for me a large piece...what to look for and how not to get ripped off. It is nice to know that there are still people out there who are thinking of others and looking out for their future at the same time. I'm a mechanic by trade and have the same ideals. You can make a boatload of money now or take care of your clients and you'll always have a job. Thank you for the video and I am looking forward to more! Much love from Southeast Texas ❤

    Thank you!! I’m going to share your video. I have a couple customers who have come in and didn’t want to pay me for my work and accused me of trying to price gouge her ( I didn’t end up quilting it but she brought it in with holes everywhere and I told her she could fix it or I could for $12 an hour)
    I didn’t care when she asked to pick it up and take it to someone cheaper.
    I am not getting run over by customers anymore if I can help it
    I don’t mind them bringing thread in but I have a list of thread brands

    Something to keep in mind when you do custom quilting. That also means that you're standing there doing the work, rather than an E2E pantograph which can be programmed into the machine to do automatically without the long-armer operator being there. So, you're paying for the operator's time to be working on your quilt, when they could be doing something else while the machine works. So, compensate your operator for her time! If you need or want something specific that requires custom quilting, for a special quilt, or for a quilt you're going to enter into a quilt show, then pay for her time to do it. She/he will know, then, that their work is going to be on display and will go out of their way to make it special for that purpose. For everyday use, or a quilt you know that the recipient won't realize all of the work that goes into making a quilt, E2E is perfect, and that's the majority of quilts that are made today.

    I am in Canada and i charge .02 per square inch, i charge the cost of the thread spool for a queen or king and 1/2 the cost of the spool for lap or twin. I buy Hobbs batting and charge retail price for the quilt. I buy batting by the roll and can get 3 queens out of it. I pay 210.00 for a roll so they charge 70.00 for a queen batting.

    An acquaintance offered $100 for a twin size quilt that was up for an award at a quilt show in Tucson, AZ. That didn't even cover the cost of the fabric! I quilted it entirely on my home machine and I would get nothing for my labor as well.Needless to say, I told him it was not for sale...

    Im confused about how much a person charges to quilt with a long arm? Once the person measures the quilt top and gives me a price, does it matters what design I want on the quilt? Could I choose any detail design for the quoted price?

    • @ToniNov25
