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. |
I agree with Cathe's logic and would not normally tip my quilter or LA'r, but Shelley, you said it all!! I think giving credit is very important.

HOLY COW! :shock: I can't believe she binds them too for that price, I can see doing a panto for any size for that price but it would NEVER include the binding! You better hang on to her.

From what I've read here, it seems tipping is a personal choice rather than customary. From now on, maybe I'll just round up when I write my check and call it good. Thanks for the answers.

Hi I am very new to all of this where in Phoenix is the quilt shop you have your quilting done? I will be headed there from TX shortly. Thanks
|
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. |
