I apologize if I'm wrong, but her not having asked, but you, I'm picking up a 'you should do this yourself, and not pay someone else' vibe from you. $170 is certainly in the ball park of a fair price, and of course the binding would be extra. Longarm quilters do not routinely bind a quilt unless that is a service that is requested. And $30 for the time involved is not unreasonable. Binding is not as difficult to do on a domestic machine as quilting. Putting together a queen size quilt can be done at home, but it's a pain. You have to have enough space to at least accommodate the length and a portion of the width. Some quilters like to own the whole process, so that it's ALL theirs, but after quilting for 25+ years on my home machine, I am more than happy to let the quilting be done by a professional. I just dropped off a quilt top today, and I remarked that it's like Christmas when I get it back, all ready to be bound!
