Check with your local quilt shops, or guild to see who is in the area, who they recommend. Then contact them. There is a very wide range of prices. Ask to see their work, every quilter has his/her own style. Find someone who does the type of quilting you like. Some of us do a lot of long distance quilting. But I would recommend starting locally if possible so you can visit, see first hand. The first quilt I paid to have quilted- the quilter was wonderful! He Showed me a lot, went over things with me I had no idea I should ask about. He even trimmed/squared up my quilt for me when finished & taught me how to do the binding. It was an expensive experience ($385) to have that first quilt quilted, but it gave me first hand knowledge and a fabulous quilt for my daughter's wedding gift. It also motivated me to find a way to become a longarm quilter.
