It can get very expensive to send a quilt out to a long-armer. Sometimes you can get a great deal, but the fancier the stitching, the more expensive it gets. I've found that a lap quilt tends to run between $60-$150 and a queen size quilt will cost $120-$200+. With those prices, I find it better to just do the quilting myself. I'd rather spend that kind of money on fabric or taking a class or two. Now, if I had a lot of extra money I would send them out to be done. I know several ladies who do absolutely amazing work, but it is simply not in my budget and so I do them myself.
