I go to a ladies house, she charges $10.00 per hour & I do it myself. She helps me get started. She was an adult ed. quilt teacher,very patient & nice. I have done 3 king sz. ones on her machine so far.One free hand design & the other two with a pattern. They have come out nice. Two took me 3 hrs. $45.00 & the last one took me 4hrs & she charged me $50.00. I really feel very gratefull for this service. Otherwise I stitch in the ditch for any smaller ones. Maybe there is a service like this near you, check it out. Rowena101
