My cousin said she took her quilts in to a company that charged around $20 to have it done on a machine, about 10 years ago, so I was thinking with inflation, today it would be about $40-$50. So I'm not sure what machine that company used, but that's why I had posted "that's expensive just for stitching." She made it sound like they put your quilt on a machine and it's programmed to follow a pattern and they hit start. I'm very much new to the quilting world and I have tons of questions. That's why I'm on here. I mean no disrespect at all to anyone here. I apologize if it seemed that way. :oops:
Personally, I'm glad this discussion ensued. I've learned a lot about what's involved with longarm quilters and what they have to go through and how they charge. So keep asking your questions. We've all been newbies at one time or another.
