I took a quilt to a local LA lady. She charged a penny a square inch. My double bed sized ones (at least it fits over my double bed witha little overhang) cost me $90.00 She charges for thread. I supplied the batting and back. She does a really lovely job. This of course was for a very simply meander, as I dislike heavy quilting. I know she charges more for fancier quilting. She is popular in the area and also teaches classes at local fabric store. Would love to use her more, but I just cannot afford it. I mostly now just either tie or hand quilt. Sometimes I use the ladies at the senior center. They do just a wavy line quilting and are quite a bit cheaper. Not fancy, but functional. smile.
