    hiya from virginia...

    as i have only done small projects (i.e. sampler blocks, baby blankets)i have yet to find out how much LAQ is here...
    however that sounds very pricey...

    how does the price average out to ship it to the US to get it LAQ? would it be any cheaper to do so when you factor in the shipping costs to/from

    LQSs and professional quilters in this area charge $.015 per square inch which comes to $2.16 per square foot.....not much less that what you're paying.

    that might seem like alot...but when you think about the people here in the states that charge 2 1/2 cents a square inch---there are 144 square inches in a square foot---so that comes out to $3.60 a square foot- you are getting a good deal at $3.00
    so, don't feel too bad about what you are paying- seems to be a norm all over.

    Whoa! That is expensive but, on the other hand, if you are up to it, you could start your own quilting business and make lots of moolah!

    Just bought one of these - will let you know what they are like. I figured it was cheaper than sending out quilts, and I will probably take it to guild sit and sew days and hire it out to others (at a very reasonable rate!)
    BTW - Hi from Melbourne. Is it warm in Taree this week?
    You will want to purchase the 'Tru-Blue' with this system. It is a pain to try and use the foot pedal with a frame...... I have a frame that worked the same way and it just didn't work. Sew, stop, kick the pedal to the next spot, sew, stop, kick the pedal, etc.

    Welcome. Just had a 100" x 120" quilted beautifully, all over design, $102.00 including return shipping. Thats a little over a $1.00 per sq ft. and she did a beautiful job.
