Thanks. I really like her too.hoping to go up there next week to take her my latest quilt tops.
My LAQ is in AuGres, Mi and her prices are about the same as was mentioned in original post. Custom is a little higher b/c it's by the square inch. She does mail order. www.danielsmachinequilting.com check it out.
So glad you mentioned my friend she does a great job, and she is a great friend to !

A beautiful new house with a huge sunny sewing room with three new, very modern machines. I didn't want to appear to be nosy, so I didn't look too closely, but I think they may have been converted to treadle.

I would definately want to see some of their work. It could be that the stitching is large. The prices are definately not much per hour.
Long arm prices too high?? I do mid arm quilting some a few customers, and when you figure expenses, the time involved, you aren't working for very much an hour. Figure out how long it takes to piece a quilt and then decide how much you are making an hour. If your work away from home, you will see what I am talking about. It's always been that way with handwork and a lot of other things women do, most people don't want to pay for what it's worth. I'm not wanting to start a big discussion but just stating my opinion.
