At least that's my opinion....

I agree that you should charge at least $10. I make purses, too, and my thought is that if they are too cheap, what would keep someone (certainly not a friend, but someone else) from buying a bunch and selling them on ebay or something?

I agree with the rest. $10.00 or $12.00. If they don't want to pay that much tell them to make one and you will teach the class and charge them $10.00 for the class.
At that point and time they will think they got a bargain
when they buy one all ready made. I have to pay for all
my classes here .

I think $4.00 is way to cheap. I would go for $10.00. If you price it too cheap then they are going to be bugging for you to make more for them to give as presents, as well as other quilting projects, and they will expect the price to be lower than what you even put into the item for the materials. And then it is your time also...

Anything handmade that takes more than a half hour to do should be at least $10.00. A quarter yard of fabric at the LQS would be $2.50, plus mileage to get there and thread is not cheap either, not to mention the cost of servicing your machine from wear and tear. It really adds up. I know it is a hobby, but seldom do you see anything at craft shows for under $10.00. Sometimes if I feel uncomfortable taking money (like with co-workers), I suggest they make a donation to a charity on my behalf.
