nice to see a "man" quilting. as for price, i just finished a quilt for my grandson and his new wife and sent it out to be quilted it is only costing a penny a square inch. now i could have sent the batting also but the long arm quilter is picking that up and charging me for it-which is only right.
i also have to pay shipping both ways. so yes it could get expensive. make sure you want to put out this kind of money.
good luck with all your quilting
