I had sold on E-Bay for a number of years,but to sell the way I wanted to, it was too expensive. Yes, I truly agree with you that Hand Quilting is an art form and does take a lot of time. But when you see the surprise and pleasure of one these treasures, it is worth every stitched finger you suffered in making it. I charge 10 cents a square inch plus cost for my quilts. People usually are delighted with the quilt. I suppose I'm under pricing, but the way I enjoy and the speed I quilt, it is enough. Hello Chris

We have a Mennonite group in my a area and they have used the thread by the yard pricing for years. They work really faat and to compete with them is really difficult. I have done a few hand quilted pieces for friends and as you have stated they think you should do them a favor and reduce the price. Stand firm and if they truly want a hand quilted quilt they will come around. Thank You for having this question posed and the sources for the pricing.
