I thought I read where someone asked how to go about finding someone to do quilting for you. I know someone I met through another group who does hand quilting. If you are interested, please contact me. I am sure she can send you photos and give references.
I have found long arm quilters who do not do a good job. One said she is not the best, in the area, but she is cheapest. The finsihed quilt did not resemble any quilting I had ever seen done.
I think we all agree that we need to find someone who does a good job and encourage that person by giving them work. When we have spent so much time creating the quilt top, we want a good quilting job to make it even nicer. This woman has done quilting for a number of years and does work for the Amish. She must be good.
