My local long arm lady is wonderful - she usually has a display at any quilt shows for miles around. She can do what you want her to - fast to custom. She sits you down in front of her lap top and has you choose the elements that you want on your quilt, discusses suitable threads. The entire project is discussed and then the price is quoted. I have another long arm person (met on another board) who does great work and is very reasonable - but I had seen his work before I sent him my quilt. I think you need to interview them just like anyone else you intend to "hire".
