Was just reading a thread about the going prices in your area of having a quilt quilted by a longarmer. I'm curious what the going price is for getting one hand quilted in your area?

I do not measure the thread I use, I measure the lines of quilting in inches. There is always some waste at the beginning and end of the thread, that's why I don't measure the thread.
I don't do the whole quilt, I measure how much is in one block, multiply by number of blocks. For borders and sashing I measure how much quilting is in one foot and multiply by how many feet.

I charge by the square inch of the quilt top. For basic quilting I charge $.07 and for closer or custom I charge $.10. I charge extra if I have to also bind the quilt. If I provide the backing, batting or binding I charge that at my cost. I am really fast but not as fast as a longarm quilter. My hand quilting is as sturdy as that done by machine. The only damage done to the quilts I use in my home is from the cat catching his claws. I wash my quilts in the washing machine and use the dryer.

It is usually 2 cents an inch here. I found a place in Kansas called Happy Crafters that charges by the design. According to their website I can get a baby quilt done for $15.00. I am getting ready to send my first quilt to them. I will post the results when I get it back.
