At one of the quilt stores I used to go to all the time, they told me that they had many many customers who came in and asked for help in picking out fabrics for a quilt, then the LQS cut out the fabric for them to sew. When it was pieced, they brought it back and it was longarmed. They had many quilts already cut out for people to buy. They would have old patterns like Log Cabin or Dresdan plate, whatever you wanted and they would be in various color combinations. Absolutley beautiful. The owner of the store spent hours each day cutting out fabric for others, said she loved doing it. I think there is a need for cutting as well as color/fabric selection.
