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 95 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 of mine that does fabulous work!
How to figure a cost estimation for your e2e quilting? 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 or $.03 = $)
I have a minimum charge of $55 for small quilts.
Then add in Batting:
I can stock large rolls of Pellon Brand 80/20 Cotton batting for $.35 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 64" inches off the roll that (2" extra on both side) = $22.40
*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.
Backing:
All backing must be at least 5" inches larger than the quilt top, on all 4 sides. If you send backing that is not large enough, I will not be able to load it to the long arm frame without adding additional yardage. This fee will start at $30 to cover the time and additional yardage that will need to be added to the backing.
If you choose to mail backing yardage directly to me from a fabric shop, I am happy to piece your basic backing for $30, I will not be able to provide pieced backing as an option at this time.
Needle & Thread:
I will charge a needle and thread fee of $10.00 on each invoice
However, as part of my e2e fee I am happy to trim your quilt after quilting for no additional fee.
I use Glide Thread exclusively, and I keep a large variety of colors in stock.
Trimming:
I trim all quilts after quilting as part of your e2e price, if you do not want this service, please note that on your google form below. I no longer offer trimming for quilts with minky backing.
Binding:
**Starting in 2021 I will no longer offer hand binding service**
Clients can send prepared binding strips and I will apply it to the quilt top only, then client will finish hand binding
($.16 per linear inch)
Estimate price example:
Linear inches are figures by adding all four sides together (60+60+60+60 = 240 x $.16)
Postage ** Due to Covid-19 - USPS delivery times could be delayed, unfortunately I have no control of this **
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 5″ larger than the quilt top on Top, Botton and both sides. This allows me to load your quilt properly to the frame. Addition fees will be billed if I have to add additional yardage to make the backing large enough to load.
- 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.
- You can reach me by phone, email or text if you have any questions. 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.
