How much would it cost to have my tops quilted with just an overall meander design? And where do I find a reputable quilter?
I have a similar set up to what you have with a mid arm on a Grace frame. I am quite frustrated with my frame right now as it too seems to be failing for some reason and is ready to be replace with both a new frame but also a machine. (in my dreams). I too am thinking about sending out my quilts to a LA quilter for quilting and would love to get an idea of cost for twin, full, queen and king size quilts with me providing bat an backing or without me providing the bat and backing. or how much per inch. I would also like to know about renting a machine to do the work myself and how that works. I have looked at some sites and some sound way to high. Thoughts on the cost would be great so I can figure out things.
