As a longarmer, I can tell you that I am already out two months getting orders done. I had twelve quilts from last December I took in that I had permission from the owners to do them after the new year. So that already set me out one month. I have already received another 20 quilts since the first of January. I am now telling all my customers it will be April before I can have them back to them. I work 10 - 12 hours, 7 days a week with very little time to quilt for myself. Every once in a while I can work in a quilt that needs to be done for a gift earlier than the two month time frame. But I can tell you with 32 quilts hanging in the closet I should be out three months so that I can have some time for myself. So I would say if you really like the work that your longarmer is doing be patient with her. Not everyone is willing to give up every hour of their day to quilt for others.
