Does this seem reasonable?
I was puttering around eBay and found this listing: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...#ht_1111wt_782
(I have no association with this seller! )
Would/has anyone used an eBay listing for LAQ services? The storefront has 100% positive feedback for more than 2000 transactions.
I just want a couple of tops finished fast for a good price, and though there don't seem to be lots of options, this looks like it fits the bill.

Very interesting! I never would have thought of eBay as a place to find LAQ. There are a few of them on there - search for long arm quilting. Others have better reviews of their LAQ techniques - I would check them all out if that is the route you plan on going. Meghan

Wow, I'd be really nervous. First of all, I'd prefer to see a website where the quilter has lots of pictures of his/her work. I'd want to talk to other quilters who have used this person's services. I'd want to talk to the quilter and get a feel for how he/she deals with issues and difficulties with the quilt, how experienced they are, etc. I prefer face-to-face meetings so he/she can see the quilt and any possible issues with it, and we can discuss pattern, batting, quilting density, etc., and also so I can get a feel for his/her personality and competency.
If I was going to use this quilter, I think I'd start with something that wasn't that important to me, so I can get a feel for this quilter's skill level. $35 for a twin seems awfully cheap to me.

As suggested, I did search LAQ on eBay.
This store isn't the only one offering it at really low prices.
I don't know a single person who quilts, that's why I rely on the experts here at QB!

I'm wondering .....just check it out first.
Questions to consider:
1. references
2. how much does the price go up when the size is larger
3. do you have color choice
4. pattern choices...does cost go up?
I would absolutely want to be able to contact references....does it include batting (what kind)?
I know several ppl in my area who do quilting very reasonably....but maybe not all up to my standards...just sayin' !
Good luck!

Just remember you get what you pay for. Let us know if it works out for you, but I would ask for references or send a quilt that doesn't have a lot of meaning and is just going to be a "for comfort only quilt".
