Pricing

Quilting prices do not include backing or batting. If you have your own backing & batting please send them along with your quilt. I recommend Hobbs or Quilters Dream for battings and have personally found them to be superior to other brands. We all have our own preferences in batting and please feel free to send the type of batting you prefer.

I try to return your quilts to you as soon as possible. Quilts are completed on a first come, first sewn basis.. If you have a "Quilting Emergency" I will do all I can to accommodate you. There is a $25.00 Rush fee. My turn around time may vary as to the amount of quilts I have on hand to finish. Check with me for a completion date.

We can choose the right type of thread to use on your quilt. I can use a variety of threads, metallic, invisible, poly, cotton, glow in the dark and some other specialty threads. Please indicate what color of thread you want your quilt to be stitched with and I will do my best to match the color you choose.

Price Guide

Prices are calculated by the square inch.
Length X Width in inches= Total square inches X cost Per Square Inch (PSI).

Example: 60"x75"= 4500 square inches. Multiply this by the type of quilting desired (Edge-to-Edge) at .015=$67.50

The minimum charge for quilting any item is $35.00

As an added service I also can do your binding. My bindings are 3/8"-1/4" wide. Please state if you want a wider binding.

*Please include 1 yard of fabric for the binding.

Double thickness binding, cut on the straight of grain of the fabric is sewn to the back of your quilt by machine, turned to the top and topstitched  at a cost of .20 cents per inch. If you want me to prepare and stitch your binding to the front of your quilt for you to turn and handstitch it will be .15 cents per inch.

Top of Binding

Back of binding

Overall: I have close to 100 patterns to choose from
These patterns vary from simple to complex. The price starts at .01 PSI.

*Borders: Add $35.00

*Custom: .015 to .06 PSI. Depending on difficulty.

*Have your quilt top pressed and mark the top with a safety pin.

*Any Fullness or tucks pieced into the top may not quilt out. Your quilt top will be as free of wrinkles as your piecing allows.

*There is a $15.00 charge for seaming any backing.

*Backing and batting must be 4" wider and 4" longer than your quilt top on ALL sides to allow for stretching.

Please let me know if you intend to bring the backing to the front as a self binding so I will allow backing to extend beyond the quilt.
