Ok, I know I would love to have a list of long-arm quilters in our
group, and I have seen that some of you others would like to have it too. I would be willing to collect the information and organize a list. However, I am going to need some time to get a recognizable form together. I would like to get a little bit of input on the information we would like to have. So far I think: Name RCTQ name Address Phone email addy Web Addy specializations (patterns, free-style quilting, etc.) Let me know what you all think, and I'll have DH help me put together a webform to enter the information!

I don't mean to sound like a pessimist... but I would include at least 2 non-family recommendations
(or at least have people prepared to provide them confidentially). While we all chat very nicely -- sending your quilt for somebody to quilt is a significant investment. We all have different standards of what is acceptable -- and before I would send something to be done... I would want to talk to a few people who have used that long arm quilter.. and probably have seen pictures of her/his work as well. Kate in MI "Dannielle" wrote in message ps.com...

I will probably make the statements that this list is created purely
off of information given via the newsgroup, no experience myself with any of them, no affiliation....so on and so on. However, I would expect the individuals requesting service to do their normal investigation/questioning just as if they have entered a storefront of someone they have never met. I don't think you are sounding pessimistic at all. It should always be a buyer beware (or at least buyer educate thyself) before any transaction, any time, any place..... Thanks for the good input Kate!!! Dannielle |

I would want to talk to a few people who have used that long arm quilter.. and probably have seen pictures of her/his work as well. No, you're not a pessimist -- seeing pictures of previous work (or better yet, actual samples) is ALWAYS a good idea when hiring a quilter. Piecers A & B might be thrilled to death with Quilter X, but if what's important to them isn't what's important to you, you won't be happy. It's just as important that you see examples of work similar to what you want done. Different quilters do different things well -- for example, I do lots of freeform stuff pretty competently (if I do say so myself), but if you're expecting precise, symmetrical, marked feathers, I'm not the right quilter for you. Unfortunately, lots of longarmers think they need to do each and every quilt they are asked to do, and aren't confident enough to tell someone when the desired quilting style is not a good match for their talents, so it's up to the piecer to determine that. (Yeah, my aunt is still tweaked at me for refusing to do clamshells on her quilt. But she would have been even more tweaked if I'd done them. LOL) And before all you out there get excited, I don't want to be on the list nor am I soliciting business. I don't like mail order work at all. Puts knots in my stomach. Please don't email begging me to do your quilt. Thanks for understanding. ![]() -- Kathy A. (Woodland, CA) Queen of Fabric Tramps http://www.kayneyquilting.com , remove the obvious to reply |

![]() "Jan" wrote in message . 125.201... It's me again.... I'd make it easy on yourself and narrow the feilds. Name, RCTQ Name, email, Web address if you have it and do you machine or hand quilt. That way you will not be responsible for people's personal information or anything that directly results from it being listed on the web. They can hand out more as they feel comfortable, and less liability all around...... Having their state/country might help folks. Just a thought... -- Kathy A.

Ok, so well narrow down to the state, but not put in anything like a
street address. Since you are all on the newsgroups, I am going to assume that you have email addresses. Would you prefer that to a telephone number? Or would you prefer to have the option of chosing telephone vs. email? Dannielle |

You might want to just make it a list of people who do quilting for
hire. There might be some here who do quilting on a regular machine, either with or without a frame, and of course hand quilters. G So then include a section for "equipment used" or such.
