When I get mine basted, the stitches are only going one direction about 4 - 5 inches apart. I am charged $.005 per square inch.
I like to quilt on my domestic machine and it is so much easier to quilt than a heavy pin basted quilt. I shy away from glue basting since I don't trust my low water washer to get all of the glue out.

Do you know any LAer's. Like in your guild or group? If the quilt is for charity, they might do it for free. They might even teach you how to use their machine, for a small fee, so you can do your future quilts.
If you were a good friend of mine, I would ask for the thread to do the quilt top and then for you to treat me to a nice breakfast (IHOP or Waffle House are my fave's).
