Is the binding for the quilt already made and supplied by you. Do you know what stitches will be used for the project?
Be sure to see examples first or discuss how it will look. If all the questions are answered to your satisfaction, then proceed.
I would be happy to pay it to get a completed project marked off my list. Think of the amount of time the task would take.

I'm guessing maybe to hand stitch down the back side once you put the binding on? Still selling themselves far too cheaply. And I'd want to be sure they knew how to knife edge the corners, assuming the person putting the binding on did it correctly on their side to start.

I charge $.25 per linear inch for both hand and machine binding. Yes, I charge the same for machine because in my opinion, machine binding is more of a pain to do and I would rather do by hand. I prefer my customers to just give me their binding fabric and I take it from there, because most of them press it in half first and that's yet another pain. I have to press and starch their fold out before I can use it.
So, to answer your question, if the quilt was 40" by 50", I would charge $45.00. I have plenty of samples at the LQS for anyone to look at and handle, and lots of references.
I agree with Kalama - price seems awfully low.

I think this shop has an attachment for doing it. My choices were; no binding, the first side machined down, or both sides done. I really don’t like doing binding so opted for both sides. I’ll post once it comes back about how well it looks. I didn’t even think to ask to see a sample but they have samples hanging all over the shop so I could have easily looked at them.

I do mine without the pressing - I just fold it as I apply it. I find it lays flatter and feeds better to sew it. That's why I do it this way.
