Is there another longarm quilter in your area? You might check the Trade Journals, or Newspaper ads, or check with a quilting guild, maybe the local library knows of a quilt group you could get in touch with. If you have to do it yourself, stitching in the ditch is a safe easy method of quilting.

.....It`s just that it must be quite expensive to ship from here...i`m in northern ontario canada , then have them ship it back....plus cost for quilting...wish i could afford it , believe me!! lol I really must try and do some myself...wish i had a sewing machine with a bigger throat though...
Charismah here on the board does beautiful work. There are several here that do. Just a thought.
