Looking for Digital Edge to Edge (E2e)

Digital Computerized Edge to Edge Pantograph (Panto for short). (E2E)
Price is $.02 per square inch, while extremely dense quilting requests will increase per square inch. 
You can see lots of pictures of the pantograph designs below stitched out on my Instagram @gina_tell_threadgraffiti 
This option will give you perfect edge to edge designs guided by the computer.
This is the most cost effective option, yet still looks great, and is wonderful for a quilt that will be used and washed often!  
​This option offers one thread color.
Because I have a Handi Quilter Brand machine there are several designs that are included with my machine,
click HERE to see the list.  
Please keep in mind that some of these are used for corners or individual blocks and would not be available for edge to edge.
Below are designs that have been previously purchased from Urban Elmentz....
As we celebrate our new shop location we are offering 1/2 price on your first pantograph design!
This means, if I don't stock what you like in the above designs, I am happy to split the cost of your favorite panto design -
​you pay only $7.00!

Here's what you need to know before you send your quilt:

Lets talk about additional costs and prepping your quilt top...
I have a NEW 10 Foot Handi Quilter Avante long arm machine with Pro-Stitcher Premium computerized system,
this means anything bigger than 100 inches wide is too big for my machine.
​If you have a really big one let me know, and I can suggest another long arm friend that does fabulous work! 

How to figure a cost estimation for your quilt? Take width x length = square inches
Example: if your quilt is 60" wide and 60" long that means you multiply 60x60 to get 3,600 sq in
Then multiple 3,600 x the price above to get your estimate for quilting. (3,600x $.02 = $72) or (3,600x $.06 = $216)
I have a minimum charge of $50 for small quilts.


Then add in Batting:
I can stock large rolls of Pellon Brand 80/20 Cotton batting for $.30 per inch, or you may send your own batting if you prefer, but please remember your batting must be at least 2 inches larger on all four sides.
Example: 60x60 quilt size will need 62 cut inches off the roll that = $18.60
*You may request a specific batting and I will do my best to have it in stock for you,
but you will need to request this in advance.

Needle & Thread:
Thread is included in the square inch price for e2e.
However, with custom quilting I will add at least $8 to cover thread and bobbin fees.
I use Glide Thread exclusively, and I keep a large variety of colors in stock.

Trimming:
I'm happy to trim quilts after quilting, just let me know :)

Binding:
Binding can be applied to the top and hand stitched to the back by Gina ($.30 per linear inch)
Binding can be applied to quilt top and machine stitched by Gina ($.20 per linear inch)
Binding can be applied to the top only; Customer will finish ($.15 per linear inch)
Example: Linear inches are figures by adding all four sides together (60+60+60+60 = 240 x $.30 or $.15)

Postage is the responsibility of the client, we recommend sending your quilts via the US Postal Service using the flat rate boxes, these include tracking and $50 insurance included in the cost. You can also add additional insurance, just let me know before I return your quilt.

Preparing your quilt:
  • Press the quilt top and backing.
  • Please trim all loose threads from the quilt top, on both sides. Dark threads will show through white fabric if not trimmed prior to quilting.
  • Backing must be at least 4″ larger than the quilt top on Top, Botton and both sides. This allows me to load your quilt properly to the frame.
  • Mark the top of the quilt with a pin and post it note, do this for both the quilt top and the backing if your quilt is directional.
  • For best results, quilt top & backing must be square. It cannot be properly loaded if it’s not square.
  • Please give me a heads up before you mail a quilt. You can reach me by phone, email or text before you mail a quilt. I want to make sure you get exactly what you want, and I want to make sure your quilt gets here safely!! I am happy to help in any way that I can.
I'm currently accepting new clients with a turn around time of 6-8 weeks. 
If you are ready to mail a quilt top, I would love to work with you, but please don't mail quilts without letting me know!!
​Please fill out the google form below, and then send me a text with pictures of the quilt you would like to send.​
512-619-8466 (text or call) 
 
If you have questions, or you are just not sure about something, that's ok!  I am happy to talk with you and make suggestions, or sometimes clients just want me to pick out a e2e design that I think will work perfect. 
​Either way is fine, I love my quilty friends, and I want you to be happy!! Text me with questions....
