I have a natural talent for drawing and love to do freehand quilting. Spent 4 years practicing my longarm skills, and getting to know my machine, which was quite a learning curve...tension was a huge problem at the beginning and now that I have mastered this, I am very comfortable doing work for others now. I charge a minimum of $50 for any quilts that are less than a crib size, ie., set of 4 placemats, or 2 king size shams - as I can complete these in less than an hour. I pick and chose those quilters whom I do any work for. I know enough quilters and I refer these
to other longarmers as I do not want a full time job with my lifestyle - we travel for 4-6 months of the year.
