One frequent hangup with having a business, especially a service-based business like longarm quilting, is learning how to set a profitable price point that honors the amount of time you’re spending performing the service for your client. In this episode of Measure Twice, Cut Once, I’ll take the lessons learned in Episode 94 with Casey Brown and apply them. Bonus–there’s a gift for you to make the job easier!

The opening of the episode introduces Heather from PurpleHobbies.com, who designs custom 3D printed sewing tools.  My favorite is the binding third hand. But whether you want to organize your bobbins, or find the perfect pin holder, or tag and label your quilt in progress, her custom tools are like having a secret weapon in your crafting arsenal.  Use the code. SBS15 for 15% off any items in her online store. Head over to PurpleHobbies.com and see how Heather is bringing innovation right to your crafting table.

If you haven’t had a chance to, listen to Episode 94 of Measure Twice, Cut Once with Casey Brown.

The core topic for this episode explores the fair pricing of creative work, emphasizing the need to value the experience and skills artisans bring to their projects. Practical advice is given on calculating hourly rates and overhead costs, supported by a spreadsheet provided to help listeners price their work accurately. The episode also highlights commonly overlooked costs and offers a challenge to track all aspects of a project for better pricing evaluation.
