If I would quit buying fabric to make my quilts and put that money toward a long arm, I would finally own my long arm. 😆 That is my down fall and why I have 40 plus quilts hanging in my closet, waiting to be quilted. Yes, I am entering every day to try and win the wonderful APQS Millie.😅
Once again.... great advice from yall. ;0) I was told by another longarm dealer that you should value your time and charge accordingly. She suggested that if you charge a little less in the beginning, that is fine. But give yourself a time limit. For example: tell your customers that you are a beginner and have a lower price than others. But after 3 months (or so) the price will go up to the area market price. What are your thoughts about that? Tracey, your reaction towards your visitors was a hoot. Such excitement. Cathy, your poor voice. Maybe you need to talk a little time off and fine it. Take care gals!
I tell people that buy their longarm from me to show the price you want to be making on your invoice and then have a discount line. That way their is no shock to the client when the prices go up to your "real" prices. Plus it is easier to take a discount away then it is to raise prices, for most people. So have a "first 60 days" or "first 20 quilt job" discount. Name the discount something that tells the customer its for a limited time. And yes! Even if you are a brand new longarmer, you are bringing a value to your customer and you need to charge accordingly.

We all have met people that have won longarms so it DOES happen! Hoping we knew the next winner too...
Missing Angela! Hello Cathy and Tracey! Thanks for your information and opinions.😊
Awww, Thanks! I am still here, just really needed to be at my showroom the day we were filming this podcast.

Tracey, they can fihnd it cheaper in a store, what they forget is you have to take care of logistics and store it all that adds up in your costs.
Think of how skilled labor men do with no question charge. It’s disgusting to me when women don’t value their work.
