Not sure whether you are talking about adding long arming to a hand quilted top.
I can only say that a couple of years ago I had a friend with a top made of candlewicked blocks, which another friend of hers had made. I saw it and was determined that lovely quilt with all that handwork did not 'deserve+' to be machine finished. So I took on the job of handquilting it, even thought I didn't know the gal who had made it. She was astonished and thrilled with her finished quilt and ended up paying me $300 for the gift of hand quilting it for her!
