Am I supposed to tip my longarmer?
#11
Here we tip everyone - or just about - I go to my garage - no matter what I have done with the car - I tip the mechanics, I tip the gas attendant, hairdressers, waiters, any service people.....sometimes I think we tip too much here but it has become so much a custom...........I havent used a LAQ yet....but looking for one....

My longarmer is so cheap that I always buy her a gift for each quilt she does for me.
She charges 45 dollars no matter what size and she binds it too.
Of course she is so busy it takes 3 month to get your quilt back. Worth the wait.

I agree. My hair stylist works for herself and the only time I tip is when I get my highlights.

Can't believe the price you can or would get your quilting done for.... if you have a queen size quilt with a panto here.....you would pay approx. $275 CDN (at the moment almost par) ......
So far.... I am still able to quilt by hand....

I wouldn't.
If she did a really good job buy her a plant or some chocolates and drop them off next time your passing with a little thank you note. But then again we don't tip here except occasionally at a restaurant.
It is really expensive here to get stuff quilted.
