Makes one wonder why they feel entitled to "free".

I think the answer for the people who think the price you charge should be little or nothing is, "It's much less than a plumber or electrician would charge to do the job." (I recently paid a plumber $70 for the 10 minutes he spent lighting our water heater.)

Yes, JoAnnB... so right. My husband and I own an appliance repair store - they make more money because of the service they provide as should we!! Not everyone can fix an appliance - not everyone can quilt/sew!

Do any of you do advertising for sewing work on this board? I think you should. Your work is beautiful.
