In the southern USA, quilting is as expensive as you want it to be. For a computer run Pantograph on a lap size, it can be as cheap as $50 or $60 plus the cost of the batting. The price can go up to $.03 cents and higher per square inch for a free motion intense, quilt show ready design. I've never heard of anyone sending a table runner to have it quilted, so don't have any idea about the cost of those. A friend did a Judy Niemeyer, paper pieced queen size, Bali Wedding Star and though she got a great price for hand quided quilting....$450. One lady I talked to wanted $600. And, this wasn't supposed to be show quality...just light quilting.
