I refuse to work for nothing

Published by kdarrell under selling, sewing Edit This

Yesterday I had a very interesting conversation with one of the mothers down at the bus stop.  She asked me for a price of what I would charge her to make her a homemade quilt.  Well I gave her a price and she informed me that it was way to steep.   Honestly for all the work that goes into a homemade quilt I think my prices are quite reasonable.

So I told her to go find a homemade quilt cheaper than that.  She informed me that she seen one that was at Zellers for a lot less than I quoted her.  So I told her to go buy it.  Honestly if you don’t want to pay my prices that’s fine, but don’t insult me by telling me I’m charging too much.  My time is most certainly worth something.

So I have come to a decision.  Even if she decides that she does want the quilt at that price, I’m not going to make it.  The reason for this is because I think it would be a never ending problem with her over everything.  If she’s going to be that hard to get along with about the price I would hate to hear her opinions on the quality.
