had left a quilt to be quilted about two months ago and hadn`t heard anything from the guy.....went to check in on him today....an hour and a half drive away and he hadn`t started yet....just finished the same one that was on his frame when i brought mine in soooooo i took my quilt back home with me...dang....what will I do.....i have pieced 8 tops so far since January and not one is quilted...you see i`ve only handquilted and don`t want to do all of this....dang darn it....I will have to try machine quiting....still scares me...i know , i know...i must!!!

Is there another longarm quilter in your area? You might check the Trade Journals, or Newspaper ads, or check with a quilting guild, maybe the local library knows of a quilt group you could get in touch with. If you have to do it yourself, stitching in the ditch is a safe easy method of quilting.

Charismah here on the board does beautiful work. There are several here that do. Just a thought.

what a disappointment. might think of this as a great opportunity to challenge your skills. jump in and try one. good luck.

not too many up here but i had intentions on checking....there is a new quilt shop opening up in town ...will see what that will bring

.....It`s just that it must be quite expensive to ship from here...i`m in northern ontario canada , then have them ship it back....plus cost for quilting...wish i could afford it , believe me!! lol I really must try and do some myself...wish i had a sewing machine with a bigger throat though...

I must try...i`ll finish piecing the one i`m working on now then i will give it a shot!!

good luck and have fun quilting them, you can do it, I have trust in you

maybe you could post a note on the board to see what longarm quilters are in Canada from the Quilting Board site

ahhhh good idea!!!

Maybe you should get a long-arm for yourself ... then you can quilt for other people also. Just a thought...
