This is such good information. I did pay .015 per sq inch plus $13.00 a yard for warm and white batting, $1.00 per bobbin which my largest one took 5 bobbins, and so I feel this is a pretty good price. I am not able to do my own quilting due to arthritis in my hands and knees and back. Can't stand for very long etc. so that is out. I live in the "boonies" and the nearest rental machine would probably be two hours which I am not able to devote to such a project. So this is my best solution. I was just curious about costs for others. Thanks to everyone for sharing their info. Love this board!
