Pantograph: A single quilting design quilted edge to edge from top to bottom in one thread color. Designs range from soft open areas to complex and densely quilted. This is an excellent choice for a quilt that will be “much loved” by the recipient! Prices range from $0.015 to $0.03 psi for "quilted to death". Please indicate on the work order form if you wish to receive a price quote on the design you've selected prior to the quilting. Minimum charge: $40.
Custom Pantograph: Pantograph or meander design stitched in the body of quilt with one border quilted separately with a different design. Fee for any additional borders will be added. Pricing based on design selected and begin at $.025 per square inch; contact me for a quotation.
Custom Designs: Individual block designs, separate border and
sashing, stippling or other simple free-motion fillers. This may include up to 3 patterns (1 block, 1 border and 1 sashing area). Additional fees will be added based on the number of blocks and design(s) selected. Pricing for custom quilting begins at $.05 per square inch. All custom quilting must be scheduled in advance.
Custom quilting shows up better when the fabrics are solids or tone one tone. Multiple colors and prints in the fabric won't show the quilting and spending the extra money for something that isn't going to show may not be the best choice. When in doubt, give me a call...
Heirloom Quilting: This would include block, border and sashing designs, or applique quilts with outlining, crosshatching or trapunto (extra batting used to create the raised or "puffed" look to the quilt and intense background fills such as micro stippling, McTavishing, pebbling etc. Contact me for pricing - this is the MOST EXPENSIVE type of quilting and should be saved for your true one of a kind "heirloom" quilt(s). Be sure to be sitting down when you call for a quote!
If you don't find the design you're looking for in the design catalog (the catalog only contains a small sampling of designs), I recommend that you visit the following websites for additional quilting design options - and when you find one you like, please let me know the pattern name and designer -- some designers use the same pattern name but the design may be radically different! Chances are we already have it in our studio but, if not, we'll be happy to order it for your quilt.
Please note that designer fees are not charged to you - they are a cost that I absorb.

Rush Fee: Quilts are completed on a first in, first out schedule. An additional 50% will be added to your invoice for quilting a rush job. A rush job is when you request your quilt be completed by a specific date that would require scheduling before those already in-house. This means that I will do your quilt next, but it will be done on personal time (evenings, weekends etc. If the quilting on your top would normally run $75.00, as a rush job it will run $112.50.
Binding Services:
Attaching , by machine, customer provided pre-made binding for customer to whip stitch closed $.10 per linear inch.
Attach customer provided pre-made binding to back of quilt by machine, turn to front and machine stitch closed $.020
Make and attach binding (using customer provided fabric) by machine to back of quilt, fold to front and machine stitch closed for full machine binding is $0.28 per linear inch.
I do not provide any hand stitched binding service.
Additonal fees that could appear on invoice: Trim and square backing ($15 per hour), repair unsewn/missed seams ($15/hour), backings that are too small and require muslin strips be added to mount onto longarm $10 - $20, depending on how many sides muslin needs to be added. Seaming backing for quilts ($5-10 per seam depending on size of quilt). The best way to avoid additonal fees is by preparing your quilt top and back properly for machine quilting on a longarm. When in doubt, feel fee to call me.
Mechanical Issues:
Please be aware that a longarm is a mechanical device and the possibility exists that a problem may occur (needle breaking, electrical failure) and cause damage to your quilt top and backing. Every effort is made to avoid this happening, but the possibility still exists.
Trimming after quilting
All quilts are returned trimmed to 1/2" to 1". Excess fabric is returned if it measures larger than 2" in width. Batting is returned if it is a useable amount - 15" or more in width unless otherwise requested on the work order.
