Pricing for Quilting



Edge-to-Edge Pantographs, simple to complex
Non-custom, edge-to-edge designs on the quilt:
$0.016 to $0.020 per square inch, depending on intricacy of design.  (A 100" x 100" quilt would cost $160.00 to $200.00 to quilt.)  This price includes pantographs and designs that flow from edge to edge.

Available pantographs are here.

Here's an example of an edge-to-edge pantograph:







Show Quilts -- Custom Quilting
Whether you want light, medium, heavy, or extreme quilting designs throughout, using templates, rulers, background filler, etc., the price can be anywhere from 4¢ for light custom to 10¢ for extreme custom.  

This is an example of light quilting:



The cost for light custom quilting on this 95" x 110" quilt was $418 -- 4¢ per square inch.



And here is a bit of extreme quilting:



The quilting on this 115" x 115" quilt would cost about 10¢ per square inch -- $1,322.50.  (It was my own quilt, so no one paid me.  😏)  (It did win a stack of pretty ribbons, though!  😉 )




Thread 
I use Superior Threads® -- King Tut® cotton, Omni® polyester, So Fine® polyester, and Bottom Line® polyester.  I also use YLI, Gutermann, and Signature.    



 





Bindings
To sew the binding on your quilt, I charge 17¢ per linear inch.  It will be sewn by machine, first to the top, then pulled around to the back.  I will stitch in the ditch, so the stitching will be mostly invisible on top, with a narrow top-stitching on the back.  A 100" x 100" quilt binding would cost $68.00.

If you want a decorative embroidered stitch on the top, such as the feather stitch, it will be 25¢ per linear inch.  100" x 100" feather-stitched quilt binding would cost $100.00.






Squaring, Backing, Pressing, Piecing
If I fix seams that are coming apart, square your backing, piece your backing or batting, or press serious wrinkles out of your quilt top or backing, I will charge $10.00 per hour ($5.00 per half-hour, $2.50 for 15 minutes). 
.



PAYMENT
I accept internet/mail order quilting.  Shipping is at customer’s expense.  

50% of payment is required when you ship your quilt (not required for local quilts) and the balance will be due when the quilt is completed.  


Please call or e-mail if you are shipping your quilt. Place your quilt in a clear plastic bag and a sturdy box for shipping, and tuck a paper with your address into the box.



I reserve the right to refuse any quilt.  (Haven't ever done that yet, though!)

    1. Thank you, Charlene! The pantograph used on the Baskets of Lilies quilt is called 'Rapture', and was designed by Anne Bright. It is especially for computerized longarms, but I printed it and followed it manually.
