being in the market for a new quilter this thread interests me.
How will you get the word out?
I haven't got a clue how anyone would find a longarmer via facebook to begin with.
My last one I found by doing a longarm quilter plus my zip code on google. I only found one, but I know there must be more, why don't they have a simple webpage??
I don't belong to a guild, but wonder if they'd offer a list if I called someone or just be told someone's best friend? Cynical, but then I'm a cynical person.
In the beginning (20 years ago) I'd look at quilts hung in shops, now shops mostly do their own I think. I've also looked at local and county fairs, checking names on quilts. I've shipped quilts across the country and hand carried them.
How will you get the word out? I'm really curious!
