Machine Quilting

Longarm Machine Quilting Services

Quilting Price Guide
These are approximate costs, I will determine the actual costs at discussion of specific quilt. Minimum quilting charge is $40.00
Quilting prices are calculated on a square inch basis. To find the square inch measurements of your quilt top, multiply the length times the width.

Simple All-over Design Quilting
$0.015 per Square inch
Includes Large Meander or Loops, ignoring blocks and borders

Freehand All-over Quilting
$0.017-$0.03
More artistic free form than simple all over designs

Specialty Quilting
$0.035-$0.049
Includes free form quilting with more detail, borders, echo quilting, tight meandering and background fills

Variegated Thread add $3.00
For each Thread color change add $5.00
Border Treatments Approx $10.00

The three layers of your quilt will be loaded on the machine independently of one another. Please do not pin or baste them together.

The batting and backing should measure at least eight inches longer and eight inches wider than your quilt top. For example, if your quilt measures 60" x 80", the batting and backing should measure at least 68" x 88".

Quilt Top
Press seams well. Be sure the top lies flat. Ripples and "puffy" places will not necessarily quilt flat.
The top should be free of embellishments such as buttons and beads.
Clip all loose threads and be sure the seams have been pressed.
A row of stay stitching, applied ¼ inch or less from the edge of the quilt, will prevent stretching.

Backing
Please trim off the selvage edges before seaming your backing. Sides should be straight, and the backing squared.
