    I agree with posters who suggest asking your quilting friends, guild members, local LQS, etc. Word of mouth is the best referral.

    I don't know that putting an ad in the paper will get you a good response. I can't remember the last time I actually perused the classifieds, it's been at least 10 years.

    I would be asking at a quilt guild or group and then actually looking at some of the LAer's work. I would make sure the LAer took notes and gave me a copy of the notes as well as the price quote for work done. Without anything in writing I would have problems trusting the LAer.

    Well I found someone one local and she said for a full size quilt she would charge me 50 dollars does that sound about right?

    Is she furnishing the batting or are you? It depends on the quilting design, a lot of quilting or not much. That sounds very reasonable. But you need to ask questions , so you both know what you want done.

    My LQS does the quilting now, and they also have cards for women who do it in the area.

    I live in Tulsa and use two long armers---one is in Claremore and one in Broken Arrow. Pm me if you want contact information. But I really think you can get a list of quality ones from any of the OKC quilt shops. Or call your local quilt guild to get referrals.

    What about our Piecemaker#1 in Texarkana, she does lovely work, prices are great and postage is as reasonable as gasoline, almost. You can PM her from this site. She surely is worth checking out!

    The least longarmers here in CA charge is $.01 per square inch. Say an 85 by 90 would be $76.50 and that would be simple panto side to side. Just the quilting no batting or backing. So $50 is very reasonable...but I guess each region is different.
