10 TIPS FOR COLLABORATING WITH A LONGARM QUILTER • How often do you finish a quilt and wonder, “How should I quilt this?” Your first option would be to quilt it for yourself on your domestic machine, but that is only sometimes the easiest or best choice when working with a larger quilt. You might want more intricate designs than you could do on your domestic machine, and that's a lot more manageable on a longarm machine. The next option is to hire a longarm quilter to finish your quilt. Here are 10 tips for collaborating with a longarm quilter.
