If you try them, let us know how they do.

sounds too cheap.. maybe you have to purchase batting and backing and that is added to the $74?

Here the quilt shops with longarm machines charge 2.5 cents an inch so that quilt would be $147.60 and that is just the quilting and not the backing fabric or batting.

I won't crank my LA up for that....sorry! I will add backing, batting, quilt, and bind your quilt but certainly NOT for $74...be very sure you check the quality before you send something to them. I have a shop in my home and have a business license so I can, and DO, buy everything wholesale....and I still couldn't do one for that. The only way they could be making a profit is to be taking in 500 quilts a month and I doubt that very much! Please, do let us know when you find out more.

I agree: Buyer beware. My mama always said, "You get what you pay for." Sounds like a quilt from China with the toenail catcher quilting. However, Please let us know how they do. Perhaps, this is a loss leader for the business.

they are "local" for me and while they have some nice fabrics, think you need to be aware that the quilting I have seem is all pantos with a gap between rows--they don't fit the new row so it looks like an all over design, instead like someone quilted one row,spaced down about 2- 3" and started a new row. If you like that look, it' s a bargain,I guess.

Also a couple of years ago I bought a kit that was short on sashing and the sashing would not stop bleeding--I ended up throwing out the sashing and buying elsewhere. Since I did not start the kit until a year later,I did not feel I could go back and complain, but I don't spend $$ there either.

I found Happy Crafters several years ago. I have sent them 4 or 5 quilts and have been very pleased with the results. I will not hesitate to use them again. They get the quilts back within the time frame they give. They call if there is a problem or if they have a suggestion about anything. I highly recommend them.

Jump on that! I read about them recently but have no idea on reviews. Are there any folks on QB who have used their service? Even with shipping that price is great for those dimensions.
