Needle and Thread Fee: Flat fee of $5.

Batting: I have available both 80/20 blend, and 100% cotton. I charge $0.35 per linear inch, and always cut 8 inches more than the shortest side to ensure enough space.
-
Machine binding back to front: $0.20 per inch.
-
Custom PS design: $20/hour.
-
Backing seam: $15.00 for each seam.
-
Most thread colors are included in the price. (Metallic, special-order variegated, etc. are an additional fee.)
-
Jump the line: Additional 25% of total quilting fee- this means I will move your quilt to the front of the line! Great for last minute finishes.
I can quilt just about any design you have in mind. I already have a large design library from you to choose from, but if none of them suit you, you’re welcome to find a design you DO love. I will bill you $10 towards the design. If you can’t find anything that strikes your fancy, let’s talk and I’d be happy to try and design it for you myself!
To take a look at what I have, feel free to look at my design catalog here.
If you’d like to find a different design, Urban Elementz and My Creative Stitches are both great resources!
Process
Curious about how it will go? Here’s a rough timeline.
-
You have a wonderful quilt top and backing (possibly batting too!) that you’re ready to get finished
-
You fill out the contact form by clicking the button above
-
I contact you to discuss details (quilting design, thread color, etc.)
-
We settle on a drop off/meetup time for your top to exchange hands, or your mail me your quilt
-
I get your quilt top home and loaded on the frame, and I do my quilty magic
-
I send you an invoice (and a photo if you want!)
-
You pay it
-
We arrange a quilt hand off (or I mail it back to you)
-
Your heirloom is ready!
Sending in Your Quilt Top
When you’re ready to send in your quilt:
-
Snip all excess threads.
-
Iron the top and backing thoroughly.
-
Make sure batting and backing are at least 4 inches longer than the quilt top on all four sides.
-
Top should be squared and pressed.
-
Mark the top of the quilt and backing if you have a preference.
Turnaround time (for edge-to-edge) is 7-10 days from arrival of the quilt and agreement of details (design, thread color, etc); if you need it faster please let me know! Once I receive your quilt I will contact you to discuss design, thread, and additional choices if needed.
Backing
Your backing needs to be at least 4 inches longer than your quilt top on all four sides. For example, if you had a top that was 64” x 72”, your backing should be (at a minimum) 72” x 80”. The machine needs that extra space to attach to the leaders and enders, as well as for test stitching for tension. If you’d like your backing oriented a certain way, feel free to mark the top of both quilt and backing with painters tape.
