This may have been discussed before, but I wanted to ask: what is the going price for sending quilt tops out to be quilted? I know this may vary from area to area and of course by size, but did not know what it would cost to send one out.

I live in East Texas. I just got a price on having a queen size quilt machine quilted and the binding done ( or whatever it's properly called to complete the quilt edges after quilting ) and was quoted a price of $75 for quilting and $30 for the binding.

Thanks Betty-that really helps me to have kind of a ball park price-was not sure whether it would be worth it to send out or wrestle with it on a regular machine. I guess that all depends on how much you value your time and how much jingle you have in your pocket-HA!

I'm to new to quilting to attempt quilting it myself, however, I do hope to learn how someday. This is only my 2nd top and at this point, I feel like I have put way to much heart and sole into piecing the top to screw it up with a DIY quilting job.

A simple all over, free hand, will cost a penny a square inch. So if your quilt is a king size, lets say 110x110, will cost 110.00 dollars. If you are mailing the quilt, back and forth would be another 30.00 more or less. That price would be only for quilting.
Quilters charge different prices depending on where you live etc.
