Below are a few pictures of some of the panto designs stitched out for previous clients....
Let's talk about costs involved and preparing your quilt top...
Pricing:
How to figure a cost estimation for your e2e quilting; take quilt 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 category you have chosen to get your estimate for quilting. (3,600x $.03 = $)
I have a minimum charge of $65 for small quilts. (Some exceptions can be made for extra small blocks)
SALES: If you are on a budget I still offer several pantos that can be stitched out on a larger scale at the price of $.02 Please check out my Budget Section on my pantograph tab or let me know on your Google Form and I can help you find something that works for you!
Batting:
I stock large rolls of Pellon & Hobbs Brand 80/20 Cotton batting for $.38 per inch, and Hobbs wool batting for $.42 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's 2" extra on both side)
*I also have 100% cotton by request.
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.
Borders:
If your quilt top is not square or your borders are too long causing wave, I can not guarantee the outcome, some puckers may result and additional fees may be added for extra time and pressing.
Needle & Thread:
I will charge a needle and thread fee of $12.00 for all large quilts, and $6 for small quilts.
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 1/4 from the quilt edge 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:
*If you are interested in my hand binding please text to discuss, I only schedule hand binding as my calendar will allow*
(Hand Binding $.35 per linear inch)
Clients can send prepared binding strips and I am happy to apply it to the quilt top, then client will finish hand binding
($.16 per linear inch)
Client can send yardage for Gina to prepare and then attach strips to quilt top for client to finish by hand
($.18 per linear inch)
Estimate price example:
Linear inches are figures by adding all four sides together (60+60+60+60 = 240 x $.16 or $.35)
Postage **
Postage fees are the responsibility of the client.
1) First you will mail your quilts to me, I recommend sending your quilts via UPS or US Postal Service using the flat rate boxes, these include tracking and some insurance.
2) Then once your quilt has been quilted I will pack it into a box with plastic to keep it safe from moisture and purchase the postage to return the quilt back to you, that exact postage cost will be added to your invoice once quilting is complete. I am not responsible for lost or stolen packages, I encourage you to purchase postal insurance whenever possible. I have a spot on my Google form below, just let me know there if you want that extra insurance for the trip home.
Billing:
Clients will pay nothing up front, when it is your turn in line I will load your quilt and begin the longarm quilting, then once it is completed I will send you pictures by text and then you will receive an email with tracking info for the trip home and an email with a link to pay the invoice. Once paid I will return your quilt by UPS or USPS.
Turnaround Time: typically around 4 weeks.

Turnaround Time: typically around 4 weeks.
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.
- Please keep in mind if you are sending minky backing there is always a chance that it could pull through depending on the quality, especially if the backing and the quilt top have high contrasting colors (Example: blue backing w/ white top) for best results use blending colors when working with minky.
- Mark the top left of the quilt with a pin and post it note, do this for both the quilt top and the backing especially if your quilt is directional. If this is not done, I will not be responsible for directional mistakes.
- For best results, quilt top & backing must be square to prevent puckers. I will not be responsible for puckers if any quilts have long borders causing wave, no refunds will be issued.
- 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 quilts travel safely!! I am happy to help in any way that I can.
