  3. I tend to charge by stitches, using the white spaces to account for supplies. So, for my small items, they might be 12 stitches by 12 stitches, with a little white space, it’d be $1.44 or rounding up to make life easier, $1.50 or $2 (if it’s for etsy, it goes up to the nearest $1 for fee coverage). Since something 5×7 can be different depending on the fabric, I tend to use stitch count. Though, sometimes I feel I’m not charging enough…

  5. I’m getting into selling my finished cross stitch so starting to determine best prices. I’m even trying to do some semi-custom designs (combining different pieces from different patterns). A 5×7 design with no white space (all stitches) I’d say would be $15-$20 unframed, depending if design uses special thread (i.e. satin or metallic) or blending colors. Framing cost depends on type of frame and could be an extra $10. For a 5×7 with moderate to lots of white space, I’d say $6-$10 (unframed). All this is based on white Aida, colored or linen would be slightly more, perhaps $1-$2 for 5×7. I have a public Crafts photo album on Facebook to display my work.

  6. I have done commissions for several people. I’ve only done a few custom pieces for people. I usually will do work from a pattern or design that has been purchased and will either have the person purchase the pattern and all materials or add that into the cost of the price, that last part is a big deciding factor on how much I would charge. The price also depends on how much work is involved in the piece and size so I don’t have a general price for a certain size.

    I’m definitely willing to do more commissions in the future. I have most of my work posted on my Facebook but I can provide better links if anyone wants to see what projects I have completed. Most of my personal projects include beadwork, perforated paper, linens and Kreinik threads because I love working with them and love how they look. 🙂 I have around 25 years experience with cross-stitch. 🙂

  7. I am available for anything thread related. I have a Flickr Portfolio here https://www.flickr.com/photos/stitchbyrachel/ and you can check it out. My cost is usually by the stitch but it depends on materials required and the needs for the client. Cross stitch without metallics or Kreinik is pretty straightforward. It also depends if its linen, cotton, aida, satin, silk, it depends if you need stabilizer or not, and for shipping/paypal fees. I embroidered the initials of a bride into the hem of her dress (satin) with white satin thread and that was quick and easy and I did it over a weekend. But a photo generated sampler with a portrait would take quite a bit of time, and it depends on the client’s deadline. do they have an open end? or it is something that has to be done in the next 30 days…that’s why a consultation has to be established.

  8. I do custom work for people all the time as well as stitch cover models for a cross stitcing magazine. I charge by stitch. If the job is done on with waste canvas on something then the cost for those supplies is extra. Please feel to contact me if you have any questions.

  10. Hi, I have been stitching over 30 years and have done model stitching several LNS as well as for a designer and for a few people; I usually charge by the stitch count as well as how difficult the pattern is. You would supply all materials & I would get to keep what wasn’t used as well as the pattern. Would love to hear from you..

  13. I stitch for others, for a 5 by 7 that is uncomplicated its 15.00 framed and for a complicated/full coverage I charge 25.00 framed. I don’t go by stitches. If I don’t have all the colors I need or fabric, then I add that into the cost.

  16. I have been selling cross stitch on Ebay, but I would love to have another outlet to find customers who are interested in hiring me to stitch for them. Could you add me to the list?

    Thanks!

  17. I have been cross stitching for about 20 years or so. I have recently been thinking about going on line with a website to cross stitch for others. It is hard to put a price on something until you see what all is needed, but I am open to charging by the project. But the price will depend on the difficulty. I am available anytime and should have my web site up shortly. But I am flexible and reasonable.

  18. Are you still adding names of people who would be interested in doing cross stitch for other people? I have been doing cross stitch for over 20 years. I used to work for Ghoststitchers. I have also sold on Ebay. I enjoy making projects for other people and having the challenge of getting them done in a certain time frame. I look at the size of the project and price accordingly. I will say I really do love stitching.

  29. I would love to know more about this. I’ve been selling my cross stitches, and I would charge just by the supplies I would have to get such as all the DMC floss and the canvas. I also put my work into frames or I can also make them into pillows if the customer wanted that. I can get my work done in a good time frame.
