Costs are calculated via my Quilt Price Calculator: Factors are the size & pieces mentioned above and the presets for a twin quilt. The costs for longarm quilting were 308 Euro including batting, so I set that to 0.

The normal theory of factor 2 and 3 sales prices does not apply here, because I “subcontracted” the quilting part. And the theory accounts for the piecing AND quilting work.

A different solution for this situation might be to use the sum from factor 2 and add the additional longarm cost: 402.40 + 308.00 = 710.40 €.

I also want to add that the longarming was fairly expensive but at that point the only option for computerized longarming I could find in Germany/EU. Now in 2019, we have other longarm options that are less expensive.
