Pricing

Long arm Services

My pricing is based on square inches. To determine the square inches in your quilt, multiply the length x width. If your quilt is 85" x 90", the total square inches are 7650" (85x90=7650) (7650x0.02=$153.00). Multiply that by the price per square inch to get the total price for quilting. We will be happy to provide you with a free estimate.

Styles and pricing

  • Freestyle Meandering and Edge to Edge: Allover, edge to edge, simple patterns and pantographs. This style of quilting begins at one edge of the quilt and extends all the way to the other edge without regard to piecing seams or block. This level of quilting is our most popular and we have dozens of patterns to choose from. Price starts at $.02/sq in.
  • Semi-Custom: Single block design and one border design. This level of quilting may require a turning charge depending upon the quilting pattern. This level of quilting also includes intricate Edge-to-Edge patterns. Price starts at $.03/sq in.
  • Custom Quilting: Includes set in designs, sashing designs, and border designs. In this level of quilting each portion of your quilt is treated individually. (May include turn charge depending on pattern) Price ranges from $.037-$.045/sq in.
  • Basting: is $.008/sq in (minimum $15).
  • T-shirt Quilts: Base price is $15 per block/shirt meander. $20 borders.

Batting

Batting and Backing must be a minimum of 8" wider and 8" longer than your top. If, for example, your top is 50x50, you'll need batting and backing that is 58x58. The extra allows me to have the needed room to attach your quilt to the frame and you get all the extra back in the end.

You can supply the batting for your top or get it from me.

Warm and Natural 50/50 90" wide batting is $0.56/sq in.

Please note: There are some battings that do not work well with the long-arm machine. Please call or email me before supplying your own batting.

Preparation of Quilt Top

Please send your quilt top and backing pressed and squared up.

  • Squaring up quilt: $20.00
  • Pressing: $20.00

Binding

I offer a complete binding service. I will prepare and attach binding to the front of the quilt by machine, from fabric you provide. To figure this cost, multiply the cost of the service you want, times the total inches of the four sides of your top. I need one and one half yard of uncut fabric to construct the binding.

  • Preparing binding for quilt
  • Machine stitching binding to front and back of quilt is standard.

Thread

  • Standard thread (Poly/cotton blend) First 700 yards included. $10 for second/color
  • Variegated thread: $4.00 first color/$10 second/color.
