Some people are not willing to share the names of who they have do their quilting - especially if they have had to wait to get their own quilts done.
as a long arm quilter, I get many referrals from a LQS, so definitely ask at yours. Also, if your state has a guild network or group that lists all the guilds in the state, you may find a machine quilter's guild listed, many members will be professional quilters. Ask friends who quilts for them; go to local shows and read the tags for who the quilter is--then google that quilter's name (often professionals will list the name of company along with their name). Most specific long arm machines have groups on FB, we sometimes see posts from people needing a quilter there. Plus if you type in professional quilter or long arm quilter in the search engine of FB it will bring up several pages. (I personally don't do Instragram or SnapChat, etc so don't know how those work). Hope that helps!
