yesterday, I saw a post of a quilt and the lady said her long armer only charged her $45. and she did the binding also. I wonder if she would pm me with her information as I would be interested in having her do my quilt. Ifanyone can help me anyone can help me find that post, I would greatly appreciate it.

This is the thread where it is mentioned:
http://www.quiltingboard.com/general...t231091-2.html

Page 2. The poster is Rose Marie in Arizona

Buyer beware, you get what you pay for. I can't imagine how any LAQ can quilt any size AND Bind for $45. She must be one of those LAQ who doesn't need to support herself with LAQ and just does it because she likes to and earn a little fabric spending money. Most likely quilts a meander or one or two panto designs. I would be interested to see close up pictures of both the quilting and the binding done at that price.

Maybe she is a good friend to the lady, or the LAer knows something we don't, so she does not charge her a lot. My neice has a long arm, her work is beautiful, she has quilted quilts for Meg Hawkie, the owner of crabapple Hill Designs. She quilts all my quilts and never charges me full price.

$45 may be right for binding, but for quilting and binding????????????????

Ditto, I'm retired but I got more than that for quilting a baby quilt, no, I didn't bind them.

She may be a friend and doing it as a favor. I would predict that she does it for friends and not a full time business.
