i do know of a couple long-arm quilters who will baste your quilt together for you. check the long-armer's list and put out a request, i'm sure it's not that expensive to take that task out of your hands. some long-arm'ers will also hand stitch your binding s for you...never hurts to ask...
that being said, there are some ... who are kind of (taken back) by such inquiries...if you run into one of them, i'm sorry...but don't take it personal and ask someone else.
i have a (new-friend) who brings me all of her quilts to do the binding on now even if she pays someone else to quilt them for her...she asked her regular (quilter) about doing the binding for her on a couch throw...the woman told her it would cost $125!...just for the binding, machine stitched to front, turned to back and hand stitched...evidently the woman hates doing bindings! i charge her $20 ... she has arthritis so bad she can not hold a needle, but she still really enjoys making quilts.
so anyhow...don't stop with just one inquiry, ask around...someone will be your answere!
