"just the stitching"???
I do my own quilting, on my home sewing machine. It takes me about the same amount of time to do the quilting as to do all the cutting and piecing. A longarmer could do the same thing faster, but better, and they can also do much more elaborate quilting designs. Most longarmers definitely earn the money they charge. You also have to remember that their machines are very costly.
