I have all sorts of die-cutting machines here and am wanting to start a small business cutting fabric for folks that sew but have no clue as to what to charge.
Do any of you use your die-cutting machines in this fashion?

I have bought a lot of die cut shapes on ebay for less than $2 and $3 for 20 pieces and even bought a whole pre-cut kit for $19.99. Not sure how they make much money as the fabric was nice fabric. Maybe check out what its selling for and see if you want to work for that.

I think she wants to cut fabric owned by others not cut her own and sell it.

I think for those who do a lot of applique, or like the ease of precuts would be interested in this type of service. Many precuts from manufacturers come in entire collections, where your service would provide the benefit of customer selected fabrics. It would also be great to have a quilt kit precut and then just have to sew and quilt it! I know one of our LQS's lets customers use their Accuquilt for a fee by the hour so there is market for this type of business. If you are in a Quilt Guild, you could bring this up and see if any of the members would be interested in your services. Good Luck Clsurz!
