toogie, I determined that I would charge $8-12 an hooping (just for the embroidery) - without the price of the garment.

Hope it is helpful.

7875I charge $1.00 per thousand stitches then 1 1/2 times cost of material. Used to X'S 2 cost of material but with the economy and sales slowing I changed to 1 1/2. really sort of depends on your area too. I live in a prety depressed area but sales are good so far. Hope this helps you out. plus posts from others may give you a guide line. Good Luck

My daughter, at one time worked for someone at an emb bussiness, and she said they charged a $5 set up fee and $1 per 1,000 sts. I have a hard time charging ANYTHING so I hate for someone to ask because I am never sure about the pricing.

I, too, have a hard time charging, so tend to collect in teatowels or towels. Something for me to add to my stock to embroider on. Less embarrassing as they can then decide how much to spend on blanks.

We figured out the cost of thread for the shop as newbies always blanched at the idea of wasting the thread between the spool and the needle when changing colors. I think we determined that 12" was a good amount to call the throw away piece and then figured out how much that would be. Cheaper than having to drag your machine in for thread stuck in the tension disc area or worse.
There are some programs that will tell you the amount of thread used per color in the design. Buzz tools? not sure about that.
