Welcome to my Quilt Shop

I charge by the square inch. To find the price for the quilting, measure your quilt's length and width in inches and follow this model:

Length X Width X Rate.

Example: 90 X 70 X .02 = 126.00

All over stippling: .015/sq. inch this is for edge to edge stippling (puzzle piece meandering) only (Minimum:$25)

All over stipple with custom borders: .0175/sq. inch (Min. $30)

All over design: .02/sq. inch I enjoy the creativity of freemotioning my own designs. My overalls are unique and freeflowing however, if you find a pantograph you like, you may be able to twist my arm. (Min. $40)

Custom: .0225-.035/sq. inch Block design, stenciling, crosshatching, stitch in the ditch, feathering etc. Most of my custom work consists of classic quilting designs customized for your quilt. (Min. $45)

Heirloom: call to discuss

Note: To help save money on minimum quilting costs, I can give a small discount if you keep more than one quilt on the same backing

Batting: I carry Hobbs heirloom 80/20 at $7.00/yd but you are welcome to supply your own

Thread: Thread is included in the price of the quilting. Extra charges may apply with specialty threads used on the backing

Backing: $10 per seam (I HIGHLY recommend you piece your own backings...I unintentionally tend to put off quilts I need to prepare before I load them on the machine)

Pressing: I rarely need to press quilts or backings but if your quilt comes to me balled up and wrinkled, it will cost $15 :)

Trimming: $10 By request only. I typically trim to the edge of the quilt top. If you need some extra room for binding, please specify how close you would like the backing and batting trimmed

Binding: I charge by the linear inch. I only do straight edge binding with mitered corners. If you would like your binding cut on the bias, please let me know ahead of time.

To find the price for binding, follow this model: Length(2) + Width(2) x rate (ex. 70+70+90+90 x .20 = 64.00)

• If your binding is NOT prepared: .20/linear inch
• If your binding is prepared: .15/linear inch
• If you would like it trimmed and machine stitched to the top only: .10/linear inch

• Your quilt is important to me. In order to guarantee the highest quality and satisfaction in the
  

  finished product, please consider the following as you prepare your quilt for quilting:
• Make sure your seams are well pressed. Top and back should be flat and well pressed.
  (Press seams open on the back fabric)
• If the quilt has a top and bottom, please mark them.
• Make sure your backing is at least 4-6" bigger on all sides.
  If you are providing the batting, it should also be at least 4" bigger on all sides than the quilt top.
• When choosing a back fabric, keep in mind the thread color that you are going to want for the top.
  Light colored thread on a dark back or dark colored thread on a light back will create a major contrast.
• Ripples in the borders will not "quilt out" so be sure you measure them carefully.
  Take your measurement from the center of the quilt, not the outer edge.
• Please do not bring sheets for back fabric. It causes too many thread breaks.
• Note: The denser the quilting design the more your quilt will "shrink" during the quilting process. 

• Mailing tips: I have done many quilts through the mail and I prefer to use UPS. I have never had any problems with them and I am able to EASILY track packages and provide the tracking codes to you as well.
• Call or email me to let me know when your quilt is being shipped.
• Please include a note with your quilt letting me know all of your information and any specifics on the quilt.
  I will email or call you upon receipt and discuss ideas.
• If I am providing your batting, please make sure your box is big enough for me to return your quilt in.
• Please don't pack with styrofoam nuts or packing materials that fly all over when
  I take your quilts out of the box. :) Air cushion bags work the best but packing materials aren't "required".
  
• UPS provides 100.00 worth of insurance automatically with your packages.
  If you would like me to insure it for more than that, please let me know.
• Please let me know if you would like for me to have your packages signed for on delivery.

• We accept Check, or Debit/Credit cards via PayPal (you don't have to have a PayPal account to pay with PayPal)
  
• Deposits are welcome but not required.
• Sometimes quilts have unexpected problems so I never know exactly how much the pricing will be until I am working on the quilt, so I will contact you while your quilt is in progress to let you know your totals.
• Quilts are not released until payment is made.
