Long Arm Quilting
Quilting
Quilting prices are calculated by the square inch. To find the square inches of your quilt top, multiply the width by the length.
Example: 83” x 100” = 8,300 sq. inches.
Multiply this number by the amount shown for desired pattern.
Example: 8,300 x $.012 = $99.60
Minimum Quilting Charge/Project : $35
Large edge to edge design: $.012 sq. in. An edge to edge design stitched from border to border over the top. These designs are larger and may have 1/2”- 4” between stitch lines
Small edge to edge design: $.018 sq in. An edge to edge design stitched from border to border over the top. These designs are closer and may have 1/4” – 1” between stitch lines.
Basting for hand quilting: $.005 sq. in. Quilt is basted horizontally and vertically in a 4” grid using long stitches for easy removal.

Preparing your quilt
- Do not attach top, batting, and backing in any fashion. No pins or basting.
- Backing must be squared up and measure 5” larger than top on all sides.
- Any quilt with bias edges on the outside or seams that run to the edges of the quilt should be stay stitched 1/4” around the outside perimeter of the quilt top to help prevent stretching or popping of seams
- Top and backing must be pressed well with all loose threads trimmed. Remember, puckers in piecing will still show after quilting.
- If backing must be pieced, remove the selvages, use a 1/2” seam allowance, and press open.
- Mark the top of the quilt top, batting and backing with a safety pin so that I know which direction to load the quilt
- When adding borders, it’s best to use the lengthwise grain of the fabric. I can compensate for slight fullness in the borders, but I cannot guarantee that there will not be some tucks or puckers (these are very evident on solid colored borders). With your permission, I can take off and fix borders at the rate of $20/hour.
