Margaret Hammler Morelli and thats being generous -- I charged that much for a twin 15 órája · Tetszik · 9 Kay Chavez Thats a great price! 15 órája · Tetszik · 2 Mary Dobbs Greenwood Material cost that much... Work for compliments! 15 órája · Tetszik · 2 Dora Lesmana And that the cost of all hand sewn quilt in my country 15 órája · Tetszik · 1 Iva Sue Shepard Smith No way would I sell a queen for $200. I use top quality fabric and depending on the pattern, I might hand piece and hand quilt. The last quilt I made, I probably have $1000 in it, wouldnt sell it for less than 3k. 15 órája · Szerkesztve · Tetszik · 17 Lisa Brzozowski Jenson Probably because they dont realize how much time is spent on them. Handmade takes a lot longer than a manufactured one. 15 órája · Tetszik · 6 Iva Sue Shepard Smith To figure the selling prize, I would at least triple the cost of materials to make it. 15 órája · Tetszik · 7 Dora Lesmana They dont appreciate the creativity and love we put in it 15 órája · Tetszik · 5 Karen Dinsdale Magnant You work too cheaply...I start at $200 for a twin. That doesnt include fabric. 15 órája · Tetszik · 7 Jessie Brotton People have no idea the work and money put into a hand made quilt. I am VERY picky about the ppl I sell a quilt to. 15 órája · Tetszik · 4 Genieva Wright I made some pot holders and when I figured the cost I couldn.t believe the cost. 200 dollars might cover the cost of the top. People thinks that any thing handmade is cheap. NOT!!!! 15 órája · Tetszik · 4 Robyn Whitaker Dunn Ignorant, not stupid. Some people just honestly dont know how expensive quilting is. This is a new hobby for me and I still have sticker shock when I purchase fabric or get a quilt back from the long arm quilter. Its just a matter of educating that person, I think. 15 órája · Tetszik · 7 Pat Osborne I wouldnt do a queen for $200!!! 15 órája · Tetszik · 8 Beth Eisma Wallace Huh? Thats all? 15 órája · Tetszik · 4 Iva Sue Shepard Smith AND let us not forget that the cost of cotton is going to go up. Heard on the news 15 órája · Tetszik · 3 Teresa M. Brodman Id look at you like you were crazy because that is cheap! Way cheap. 15 órája · Tetszik · 9 Judy Evans Pennington I saw a post a while back about a Royal Crown quilt. My daughter in law wants to make one for my son for Christmas. He has been saving those bags for years, plus getting donations from his friends. Is there anything special I need to know about making one? 15 órája · Tetszik · 1 Suzette Searle Simmonds Im making a queen size right now, and that doesnt even START to cover my costs. 15 órája · Tetszik · 3 Pat Kelly Bain I have tried to change my wording from handmade to custom. It is about how you market yourself. 15 órája · Tetszik · 8 Doris Sharp They are clueless as to the time it takes to make a quilt let alone the expense 15 órája · Tetszik · 3 Brad Slaughter Walmart de-sensitizes folks who do not know, and so they think a twin sized quilt is the same as a twin-sized comforter and should cost $29.95. 15 órája · Tetszik · 6 Sherry Murphy Martin I only give quilts to those I love. Theres no way to calculate the true cost of a handmade quilt. Like some of you have said, fabric alone for a queen sized quilt would be $200+, then calculating your time, batting, thread, cost of quilting (whether you do it or send it out) - it is a very expensive endeavor. 15 órája · Tetszik · 9 Dawn Richards Kozub I wouldnt do a queen for 200!!! Maybe 400 15 órája · Tetszik · 3 Gwen Herbert No way would I do a queen size quilt for $200!!! Too many are totally clueless!! 15 órája · Tetszik · 5 Karen Arnold They have no idea how much fabric costs plus your time and then quilting. Wouldnt touch one for less than 300.00 15 órája · Tetszik · 3 Peggy Bennett Klock I dont know how YOU would be able to make a queen quilt for $200.00! Be real! 15 órája · Tetszik · 4 Beth Eisma Wallace bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 15 órája · Tetszik · 1 Cheryl Brown I agree, i only do for specific people I love. My tie is too valuable, and I cant imagine having someone pick apart my work when having to pay me. 15 órája · Tetszik · 4 Pat Robinson You would be lucky to buy the fabric for $200! 15 órája · Tetszik · 6 Beth Eisma Wallace okay pleaseeeeeeee make me a queen size for $201.00 15 órája · Tetszik · 6 Brenda Wells-Wheat That cheap 15 órája · Tetszik · 3 Jennifer Hall What a king size denim rag quilt worth?? Im just curious what the difference is between something quilted and a rag quilt 15 órája · Tetszik Shelli Eltzeroth Layman Because thats not nearly enough... 15 órája · Tetszik · 4 Denise Alberty Small People think fabric is still like $2.00 per yard. 15 órája · Tetszik · 5 Linda Boyd Everyone wants something for nothing. Between fabric and thread, long arm quilting, binding, you got $500. Into it easy. Not to mention your time. 15 órája · Tetszik · 11 Pat Castonguay For $200. I would get laughed at. Could not buy the fabric for that. I charge minimum 1,000. with half up front and cant keep up with my orders. 15 órája · Tetszik · 10 Brenda Haskell I made a king size last year 120x120. Cost of fabric and long arm quilting was $500. My time ...double that ++ 15 órája · Tetszik · 5 Bethany Frost Because thats not enough money to charge 15 órája · Tetszik · 7 Rose Snow Lawrence Im sry but I dont think Id do it for $200!!! 15 órája · Tetszik · 6 Denise Doucette-Robinson $200? For a queen sized quilt? Here in Canada, that wouldnt even cover the cost of materials! My 4H students are making a 36 square quilt and that alone is a few cents short of $100 15 órája · Tetszik · 7 Jennifer Hall Yikes!! 15 órája · Tetszik · 3 Sunni Swisher They have been brain-washed by Wal-Mart. 15 órája · Tetszik · 6 Betsey Girard That amount would not cover the fabric. 15 órája · Tetszik · 5 Kay Chavez I just went to a website, calculated batting, basic meandering quilting and finishing binding by hand. It came up just over $118. That did not include materials or making the quilt. Numbers based on just a 49 x 65. If they got the whole quilt for 200 thats a steal! 15 órája · Tetszik · 5 Lisa Parlee-Carr She could not believe what a deal you were giving her? 15 órája · Tetszik · 5 Mary Yost Barnhart I made a twin for my son to take to Iraq when he deployed. Pattern, fabric, batting, thread and quilting cost me $387.00 to make. You are way under priced. 15 órája · Tetszik · 7 Susan Gadbois Ruiter I just quoted a price yesterday for a queen and the fabric price was $234.00. Just the fabric. 15 órája · Tetszik · 8 Billie Jo Whitehurst Dang I killing my self.... 15 órája · Tetszik · 3 Pat Robinson I cant get over someone thinking $200 would be enough to make any size quilt! Tell them how many yards it would take for the pattern they would like. Ask them to go to a quilt shop and choose the fabrics they would want and price total amount needed. Then...see what they say! 15 órája · Tetszik · 4 Becky Nordman and that is on the cheap 15 órája · Tetszik · 4 Dora Lesmana In my country for some branded textile ex export is arnd $3-20 quite big range i know, need to often cek the store (no online) its in market. Silicone / poly batting quilt standard arnd $2.5-5/meters width 1.5m , yet thread we still import that cost arnd $15 hiikkss 15 órája · Tetszik · 2 Joyce Flowers I am charging $300 for queen memory quilts 15 órája · Tetszik · 2 Beverly Galante I recently charged $600 for a t shirt quilt. Before that I charged $1200 for a king quilt. If they look at you funny its because you under value yourself and your time and talent. Wake up girl! You are worth what you think you are worth! 15 órája · Tetszik · 10 Louise Ferguson Bruce Im sorry but non-quilters think you can spit a quilt out for little of nothing because they have no Idea the cost of fabric, batting and thread, not to mention your time....Ive got to where I say I dont know check with me later and if they do then I feel they may be serious about it and I will then tethe cost of the fabric..... 15 órája · Tetszik · 3 Carolyn Henderson Because they can buy a bedspread for less. By the way.....thats way to cheap!!!!! 15 órája · Tetszik · 7 Melissa Nickell Not nearly enough. Barely enough to cover supplies 15 órája · Tetszik · 6 Cindy Wynn $200 would hardly cover material, batting, thread and time spent even on the most basic of quilt patterns. 15 órája · Tetszik · 2 Barbara Tucker Dont think I would make one for just $200. It would be more like $500 or $600 at least. 15 órája · Tetszik · 7 Jane Beckhusen Martyn I would say $900 to $1200 if they provided the fabric. Then you wouldnt have to do it. 15 órája · Tetszik · 6 Rose Garcia Because it should be waymore 15 órája · Tetszik · 5 Nay Hearn more than 600.00 15 órája · Tetszik · 5 Robin M. Plante Thats why I dont make quilts for family. I know they wouldnt be appreciated and Im not going to put my heart and soul into something that is going to end up on the floor. 15 órája · Tetszik · 2 Patty OConnor You are estimating cheap with back and batting that would barely cover materials. And they look at you that way because they live in a Walmart world not our world 15 órája · Tetszik · 3 Susan Harris Because you should start at $1000 and go up 15 órája · Tetszik · 1 Kris Webb Because you are only charging 200. 15 órája · Tetszik Teresa Leon Because $200 is WAY too low! 15 órája · Tetszik · 6 Jeanne Jenkins The Queen size I am doing now has over $50 of thread alone -- and that is just the top -- 15 órája · Tetszik · 1 Beckie Burton Berry It took me 3 hours of rushing to make a little doll quilt and it was pre-printed. Tell them if they buy all the fabric, thread and batting and pay for quilting, youll charge $200 labor and thats even a sweet deal for queen size. 15 órája · Tetszik · 8 Marla Keating Materials alone are usually over $150. How fast can you make a quilt? At minimum wage,I couldnt do one for $200. 15 órája · Tetszik Janet Ewell $200 is really cheap. Id say thats a friend and family price and not as nice fabric. Id say tell them for an actual paying customer it can cost up to $1200 with high quality fabric. Theyll think $200 is a great deal. Ive learned my lesson about selling less than their worth. I sold my last one for $200 and it was well worth $500 or more. 15 órája · Tetszik · 4 Lynne Early Foster Because they have no clue of the costs involved and big box stores can sell one made in China for cheap. $200 barely covers the cost of fabric and batting on a small quilt. Add in thread, binding, quilting and labor and I cant make one for that $. 15 órája · Tetszik · 3 Charlene Tudor The fabric, batting, and thread are at least $300. Then add your time! I tell people Im not Fall-Apart Walmart. 14 órája · Tetszik · 3 Kay Chavez With this post in mind, whats a good rule of thumb for learning to calculate a price? I know theres several methods out there. 14 órája · Tetszik · 1 Charlene Tudor That might mske a crib or throw. 14 órája · Tetszik · 1 Jan Hagerman DellOrfano 14 órája · Tetszik Jan Hagerman DellOrfano Because they are amazed that you are selling it so cheap!!! 14 órája · Tetszik · 2 Deborah Stefanatos Avelis I really dont think I could get fabric for a queen sized quilt for $200. Good quality fabric runs more than that, It takes about 13 yards of various fabrics to piece the top, and if you could find fabric on sale at $10/yd, that will be $130, about $35 for the batting, and between 9 and 10 yards for the back, add another $95 = $260 for materials. 14 órája · Tetszik · 5 Mary Morgan Because they are stuck about 5 decades ago and think fabric costs $0.50 a yard or that WalMart dollar table fabric is good quality. I usually tell people that good fabric is about $10.00-15.00 a yard and their jaws just drop! 14 órája · Tetszik · 5 Julie Stevens Thats a bargin!!! 14 órája · Tetszik · 1 Linda McCoy Kelso Too cheap! Your time and expertise are worth more than that. 14 órája · Tetszik · 1 Betzi Taoka Im thinking your charging way to little for your work ! 14 órája · Tetszik · 1 Laurie Zelinsky my late husbands aunt did all of hers including the quilting by hand and we always thot that she sold the way too cheap after we saw that ones that were all done by machine at the local summer event. 14 órája · Tetszik Shelly Harris Myers $200 is way too low. Your time alone is worth that. 14 órája · Tetszik · 3 Amy Jones- Copen They want it for nothing. I have been there before myself!! 14 órája · Tetszik · 1 Phyllis Broadhurst Because they have no idea. 14 órája · Tetszik Rita Ammendola Your price is very low for a home made Queen size Quilt. 14 órája · Tetszik · 1 Gayla Polasek Boyd Value your worth ! I sale homemade queen size 1500.00 14 órája · Tetszik · 2 Debra Baker Because they dont understand what goes into a quilt. The money , time and experience/knowledge it takes to put it together much less quilting it. Its hard back breaking enjoyment 14 órája · Tetszik · 1 Debbie Reeves Because $200 isnt even close to being enough! 14 órája · Tetszik · 6 Sue Eddy Not enough 14 órája · Tetszik Nicole Lienhart Wow. My queens go for no less than 375$ 14 órája · Tetszik Kathy Wilcox Wagner $200 MIGHT cover the cost of the fabrics... 14 órája · Tetszik · 1 Vivian Joy Dirks The fabric and batting cost that much. 14 órája · Tetszik Rebecca Ruch $2000 is more realistic. I start crib quilts at $350. 14 órája · Tetszik · 3 Nicole Lienhart There is just about $200 in material alone in a Queen quilt 14 órája · Tetszik Sue Eddy Between 4 and 5 hundred for a simple queen 14 órája · Tetszik · 3 Judy Howrigan I would charge 500 and up depending on pattern...size. etc 14 órája · Tetszik · 1 Susie Sherfield Davis Because they think fabric is about $2 a yard and that it will take about 3 yards; they dont even consider the batting or the backing and they assume your time is free. 14 órája · Tetszik Sherrie Fogg Thats just the top... 14 órája · Tetszik Audra Mulvany Hahn Costs a lot more I think. I pay that just to have it quilted. Usually 200 in fabrics alone. Plus batting. And of course time 14 órája · Tetszik · 1 Lisa Tucker Why are you giving it away? 14 órája · Tetszik · 1 Gayla Polasek Boyd Thank you Rebecca, I value my machine, Time ect . Just finished quilting a T-shirt for 1500.00 . 14 órája · Tetszik · 1 Karen Hughes-Poyner Everyone wants you to give it to them. 14 órája · Tetszik Barbara Pratt Bleigh I cant give mine away either, time is too valuable. Queen size at least $900. 14 órája · Tetszik · 3 Nicole Lienhart Dont sell yourself short hun. Your gorgeous hard work is worth a lot more. If they respect you, they will pay the proper price. 14 órája · Tetszik Nicole Lienhart I do give away quilts, just throw size 45x60 but that is for gifts to close friends and family 14 órája · Tetszik · 1 Barbara Pratt Bleigh I give quilts to family too, as gifts, but never sell them cheap. 14 órája · Tetszik Maureen Murray Skau Because you should be charging a lot morr 14 órája · Tetszik Angela Marie Thats cheap, but most dont understand what goes into making one. 14 órája · Tetszik · 1 Kat Moser 200.00 is cheap. 14 órája · Tetszik · 1 Paige Rambow-VanLaningham That is LOW. 14 órája · Tetszik · 1 Dora Lesmana Dont let them a chance comparing with the one in Target or whatever mass machine prdct 14 órája · Tetszik · 1 Karen Keller Anderson Today i bought fabric for what will be a king/queen sized quilt and it cost $95 for just the TOP...nothing else. $200 is ridiculously LOW! 14 órája · Tetszik · 3 Shirley Gow-Jobson WOW .... $200 here just barely covers the cost!! 14 órája · Tetszik · 2 Linda McKinney Yes people sure do not realize how much time and money and work is spent making a queen size quilt 200.00 is no way near enough 14 órája · Tetszik · 3 Jo-ann Limebeer actually I thought that was a little low. 14 órája · Tetszik Fran Arends Because the price was way to low ! 14 órája · Tetszik Carol Ginther $200 wouldnt touch one around here. $1250. is a common price. 14 órája · Tetszik · 2 Corinna Loerzel Honer Thats too low. 14 órája · Tetszik Sheila Louise Chapman When I made one back in the early 90s someone said they would give me $1000. for one just like it. so with the cost of fabric today I would say 1250-1500. 14 órája · Tetszik · 2 BJ Quilter LMAO! Yeh, I would be doubled over in laughter right in front of them! How insulting! Did they also have two heads? Sorry thats just me and my sarcasm. Send them to Target 14 órája · Tetszik · 1 Nathalie Fitzgerald I think they think fabric is $1 a yard, maybe 2-3 yards and 3-4 hours to make. They dont have a clue! 14 órája · Tetszik · 2 Cora Peck Pandy Most folks havent a clue! 14 órája · Tetszik · 2 Judy Morgan Should have said 500$. You were way to low 14 órája · Tetszik · 2 Nathalie Fitzgerald Several years ago I needed to stop at quilt shop to get one more fabric I needed for a quilt. Afterwards he asked how much it was...$24.

Thats the reason I tell people they cant afford me! 12 órája · Tetszik · 8 Gail Meerschaert-Lombardo Not enough.
