Join us on a TQS exclusive 12-month creative journey with Becky Goldsmith as we bring you "Sizzle," a stunning quilt designed especially for TQS.
Each month we will provide photos, detailed directions for a portion of the quilt, and full-size patterns. Becky has also created a selection of "how-to" videos to guide you along the way.
Let's use this Topic "Sizzle Show and Tell" as a place to show off your beautiful Sizzle Blocks. That way, you know where to come to see what everyone is doing.
The topics that apply to each month are a good place to ask questions or make suggestions for each block.
AND when you post your photos to Social Media, like Instagram, Facebook, etc., use either of these hash tags so everyone there will be able to find our wonderful work:

TOPIC: What to Charge for a Queen or King Quilt
What to Charge for a Queen or King Quilt
01 Sep 2019 19:12 #146027
Start with 3-4 times the cost of materials—remember thread, fabric, batting, backing, binding. Too much you think? Skilled labor deserves a fair wage. Consider difficulty of pattern and quilting design, charge more for more challenging work.
I have been quilting for decades and now people are asking me make quilts for them. In addition to what the fabric and thread cost, are there some rules I can follow to know how to quote on this?
Should I charge $$ per hour for the time it takes to complete, or have a set amount for each size - say $200 for Queen and $300 for King + the cost of material? I plan on asking for a deposit to cover the cost of the materials before I purchase them. Any other advice? I need some help here. Thanks!
