****Starting June 2021 I will begin reduced summer hours****
Starting June 1st I will begin working limited summer hours to spend time with my family while school is out, this means I will be removing my Google Form from the website to take a short break from any new quilts. I will spend June and July completing the current clients that are waiting for my service, as well as working with Fat Quarter Shop on their sample quilts. I will resume taking new quilts in August and be refreshed and ready to get your holiday quilts done before gift giving season begins. If you have questions about my reduced summer hours for June and July, or you are an existing client with a quilt emergency (ha ha) feel free to text me. Thank you for understand, and I look forward to seeing what you made this summer!
**If you are interested in getting onto my calendar for long arm quilting service, please understand that I am taking a short summer break to spend with my family while school is out. I will remove my Google Form to give myself time to finish the current clients that are waiting for my service. But feel free to look through my digital quilting designs so you are ready, I will be back in August, I hope you'll come back and see me!
Digital Edge to Edge Quilting
Digital Computerized Edge to Edge Pantograph (Panto for short). (E2E)
Price starts at $.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, you can find them all the way on the bottom of the panto images below, and you will also find themed and holiday pantos towards the bottom. Or you can visit My Creative Stitches, Urban Elementz or your favorite panto designer for lot of other options. I will split the cost with you on any new pantos that I don't already stock. Please keep in mind that some of the designs you may find while searching online are corners or individual blocks and would not be available for edge to edge.
Below are designs that have been previously purchased...
Maximum width for all quilts is 100 inches.

Here's what you need to know before you send your quilt:
***June and July I will NOT be taking any new quilts, I am reducing my hours to spend time with my family while school is out, but I will be working on the client quilts that are here waiting. I will resume full time quilting in August and I can't wait to see what you made! Thank you for your understanding.
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 of mine 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 $.33 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 63 cut inches off the roll that = $20.79
*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 $25, 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 $8.00 on each invoice
However, as part of my e2e fee I am happy to trim your quilt after quilting for no additional fee.
I use Glide Thread exclusively, and I keep a large variety of colors in stock.
Trimming:
I trim all quilts after quilting as part of your e2e price, if you do not want this service, please note that on your google form below.
Binding:
**Starting in 2021 I will no longer offer hand binding service**
Clients can send prepared binding strips and I will apply it to the quilt top only, then client will finish hand binding
($.15 per linear inch)
Estimate price example:
Linear inches are figures by adding all four sides together (60+60+60+60 = 240 x $.30 or $.15)
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.
