Those prices are extremely low. that's about half of what I charge. The Mennonites in our nearby town are in line with what I charge. I don't see how they can charge so little.

Please post a photo of your finished quilt. Would love to see the type
quilting you get for prices mentioned. They are more than reasonable
even if doing simple Meander or Pantos edge to edge.

Wish I lived nearby. If that is for "custom" quilting it is very low compared to around me.

Do they do mail order? Those prices are a lot less than anyone here charges in Northern Lower Michigan. I haven't checked the Amish. I'll have my daughter check. I was in an Amish home recently. 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.

Here in PA the Amish use machines, but they power them by gasoline fueled generators.

As for the quilt prices....those are about half of what the local quilt shop charges here.
