What would you pay to have someone else bind a quilt?

i have a couple customers who have arthritis and are no longer able to hand stitch their bindings- they bring the binding made up (the correct length-pressed in half) and when i finish quilting their quilts i square up- add the binding with machine- fold to back and hand stitch- i add $20- $30 for this service depending on the size of the quilt- minimum is $20---if the quilt is queen or king it's $30--i do it for them because i am fairly fast at it- enjoy hand work- and would not feel right charging more- due to their reason for needing me to do it.
they feel it's fair= and once in a while i get a surprise and a little extra thrown in- i never expect that- so it is a nice surprise once in a while

My longarmer's rates for binding are as follows:
making and machine attaching binding (with fabric that you provide) for you to finish: $1.00 per linear foot (length + length + width + width, divided by 12)
making and machine attaching binding (with fabric that you provide) and finishing by hand: $3.00 per linear foot. (that's $50 for a 50x50 quilt)
Rates will depend on location (these are in NH).
