I'm a very new quilter and was very anxious about quilting my first quilt. We have a LQS that rents long arm machines. You have to take a class and they do hold your hand through the process. $15/hour to use the machine. It took me 3.5 hours for the class and the quilting (lap size quilt). I was very pleased with the results and now I can say I did everything myself from cutting, piecing, and quilting my very first quilt.

I wish we had a place near me that did that. The closest sewing machine dealer that sells long-arms doesn't even have sales people there that know how to use it and give a demo!! You have to go to a special event every 3-4 months where the long-arm rep comes to give a demo. Bizarre. |
I quilt my own.

hubby and I bought a short arm (used)
theory was that I could get some of my tops quilted so far, have quilted a few of mine, but done some simple quilting for friends don't charge $$, but trade quilting for a store coupn, thread, batting and stuff |
I do my own, or have my sister do them.

They certainly are just breathtaking when they come back from the longarm quilters!
