I'd say one to two days for a good job. Loading correctly is important so this may take up to a hour or more. Correct tension is also important. This can take anywhere from 10 min to 30 depending. The all important quilting can be as quick or as labor instensive as one makes it. All depends on amount of quilting involved, all over free hand, panto, or show quality. I always say about a week, and feel good when I have it done in 3 days.
