when choosing a quilter- ask lots of questions- and look at examples of their work- everyone is different- and quilts differently-(has their own style)
some people like heavy quilting- and pretty much fill all space with quilting- some people do not like that much quilting and want something different- we are all different-of course pricing should be taken into consideration- what services are available-
threads- color changes- what's included?
i have pretty mixed customers- some do not want dense quilting - they just want a large- loopy- all over quilting- others like the more (quilt dependant dense quilting--like the beautiful quilting we see from Charisma. i have one customer- the first quilt i quilted for her i did like Charisma probably would have- when she picked it up she said---oh wow- that's beautiful! i sure wasn't expecting that---next time could you just put some wavy lines across it???
now i try to make sure i know exactly what they are expecting---since i spent hours that i obviously did not have to spend.
communication is the biggest key to working with a quilter successfully.
