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!)
