I hope this is okay to post. Here is the name and web of a long-arm quilter that has done some lovely work that I have personally seen. You can go to her website and see examples and get a price list.

I rotary cut everything. I don't know any other way. As for quilting, I just had a queen size quilt quilted by a long armer and as far as I can tell they charge either by the inch or by the foot. The price varies depending on how intricate you want it. I paid $144.00 to have mine done and that was at a discount. Here's what I do: I quilt my own up to a twin/full because I can handle it on my machine. Anything larger I have it done for me.
Good Luck! Doug

the prices can verry from place to place my quilter charges
1.50 per square foot or 1cent per inch you can also go to a church group that does hand quilting they do some butiful work also my quilter charges a little more when doing a complicated pattern most of the time i just have her meander there is also the charge for the backi and the batting if you donot provide your own since my aunt is my machine quilter i let her get the back and bat as she gets discounts so it is a bit cheaper

:-D Nice to see that pattern in fabric! To answer your question about quilting, my longarmer charges .02 cents per square inch which for a quenn comes out to about $125 for an overall edge to edge pattern. It was worth it!

I just finished my 1st quilt cutting with Accuquilt-GO!, also! I'm glad you were thrilled as I am! As you didn't say what area you lived in, I can verify that Spring Creek Quilts & Fabrics, Cooksville, TN (1-931-498-3473) does some beauiful machine quilting work. I had 3 quilted there and was very happy with them. I purchased a Bernia 830 machine recently to learn myself; however, it will be too long for me to learn to help..even me! Ha! MSV

Buy a book that tells how to get a quilt ready for quilting and how to machine quilt, follow directions. Or go on youtube and see if they have a video about it that you can watch. Just follow the directions and practice on a quilt sandwich - backing fabric,batting another piece of fabric for the top, pin every 3-4", remove pins as you come to them and just practice until you think you have thing hang of it. If you quilt it yourself you will be able to say "I made it myself".
