I have only sent out one quilt. It was a special quilt that I finished for an elderly friend whose grandmother had appliqued butterflies many decades ago. I did not feel adequate to quilt it myself.
Every other quilt. I quilted myself on my home sewing machine. Admittedly, my favorite method is still SID (stitch in the ditch) but everyone has been pleased with their quilts, and I know from my own, that they do hold up.

So I can only encourage you to try to quilt them yourself. Many quilters do free motion on their machines too. It just takes practice.
