I think the cost varies. The lady that does mine charges me 1 cent an inch.

My long arm quilter charges $90 for that size and does a beautiful job

I usually pay around $125-$140 to have a King size quilted and bound, which includes the batting.

The one time I had a quilt done by a LAQ it cost 1.5 cents per square inch, doesn't sound like much but it adds up quickly.

Hello Jeanne S I have found a great LAQ on ebay. She lives in Alabama and has very very reasonable prices. If you would like more info, please contact me and I will give you more info.

200.00 for a simple meandering....that is too high. Check around you can get good quality work done for less. I have found that LQS seem to have the best prices. and to think I thought 40.00 was too much for my twin quilts that I had done...they looked wonderful, but I knew if this was going to be my hobby there was no way I was going to pay for them to be quilted (who can afford to do that once a month), so bought a sewing machine so I could do my own simple meandering. It was either that or I was not going to keep on quilting...so glad the hubby bought me my 7700 and hopefully someday a sweet sixteen machine

I'm 40 miles from you and just paid $215 for a custom job with 3 thread colors and binding attached to the front but not hand-stitched on the back. It was 101" square. You should be able to get swirls done for less in the Tulsa / Broken Arrow area. Tulsa has several excellent longarmers.

The Tulsa quilt guild on their website has a page listing local and expanded area longarmers. I know when Sewflakes was still open in Broken Arrow they had drop-off and pick up service for some of the longarmers outside of the immediate area, it was your job to communicate with the longarmer in advance of dropping off quilts, it would save on shipping. They might have similar agreements with some of the stores in Tulsa.

Thanks for the great advice! It is a little scary turning over your top to someone. But I agree, checking references should provide the assurances.

Robert,
Thanks very much for the information and the lovely pictures!! I am envious of the quilts!
