I am looking for some pricing guidelines for home machine embroidery. I have some co-workers who are wanting golf towels, and other items done for Christmas and want to know what I would charge them. Does anyone know where I can find this sort of information. Thanks!

I was recently told by someone who has been doing this for years to charge $1.75 per 1500 stitches; minimum fee always $5.00.
Also, if you have to re-hoop during the job to add $5 per re-hooping; and if it is a job requiring design software, to add a $5 design fee.
Hope this helps!
