I know that I am a 'thrifty' quilter..but, I just dropped off a quilt to a quilter for a friend..and, I don't know the exact size but, it is no bigger then a twin sized quilt....the gal is charging a total of $90 to 'stipple' it for her and that was including charges for the 'thread' and so many bobbins...and, she had to supply the 'batting'...for the $90 did not include the batting!!! Have I knocked myself in the head??Is this normal? Is machine quilters that do just stippling cost that much?? I just have to know for I have been sick for her for the cost and keeping my mouth shut..but, know I won't seek out a machine quilter over this, I'll have to just keep plugging along w/my baby steps of doing this! Skeat........who doesn't mean to insult anyone out there trying to make a living and I am asking for I just 'don't know' what is norm!All I can think of is how much more fabric I would have bought instead! Please give an opinion!!
