Machine Piecing, Quilting, Basting and Binding Service
We offer custom machine quilting using a variety of patterns and quilting methods to complete your quilt.
Listed below are the broad “categories” of stitching methods used in applying a selected design to your quilt top.
OPEN EDGE TO EDGE or SIMPLE PANTO A single pattern of your choice is quilted over the entire quilt from edge to edge. Designs may be very simple or far more elaborate in nature.
SPECIALITY Two separate patterns of your choice: the first pattern is quilted in the area inside the quilt boarder, the second pattern is quilted onto the border itself.
FREE-HAND MEANDERING Hand-guided free motion quilting over the entire quilt surface.
CUSTOM Individual treatment of design and application; may be a combination of patterns used in blocks and sashings and may include techniques such as stippling or feathering.
Each quilt will be evaluated for pricing purposes according to size and complexity of design. Prices as listed may change without notice.
Basting for hand quilting is available.
Preparation of the Quilt
Quilt tops should be clean and pressed and free from any marking or loose threads, front and back.
There is a minimum charge of $10.00 for additional pressing and preparation, if required.
While we cannot accept responsibility for puckers, wrinkles or fullness pieced into the quilt, every effort will be made to minimize them.
Both the quilt backing and batting must be at least 6 inches wider and 6 inches longer than the quilt top.
Please make sure the backing is square and ready to be loaded onto the machine.
The choice of backing fabric is important to the appearance of your finished quilt. Thread chosen for the top must be used in the bobbin to minimize the appearance of backstitching required in longarm quilting. Please keep this in mind when selecting your backing fabric. If your quilt top is dark and you have light backing, the thread for the backing will be dark to coordinate with your quilt top.

The quilting costs for Free-hand Meandering and Custom quilting is figured on a “per square inch” basis.
The number of square inches in a quilt is determined by multiplying the width by the length.
For example: a queen size quilt measuring 85” x 100” = 8500 square inches.
8500 x .012 = $102.00 quilting fee

Open Meandering - .012 cents per square inch
Freehand Meandering - .015 cents per square inch
Custom starting at .02 through .0475 cents per square inch
