MACHINE QUILTING

     

I can recommend the appropriate style of quilting for your quilt based on your ideas and the final destination and use of your quilt.  The type of batting and thread can also be considered at the same time.

         
   

QUILTING STYLE

COST

(PER SQUARE INCH)

   
Large or medium all-over meandering and Simple Pantograph

 $.015 - .017

Complex Pantograph's and Light Custom Quilting .017 - .025
Custom Quilting (Includes separate block and border treatments, echoing, crosshatch, small meandering, stippling; quote after viewing) .025 - .05
Machine Basting (for hand quilting) .015
   
Minimum Quilting Charge $45.00
     
   
Calculating Quilting Cost:  
 
Multiply the length of the quilt by the width, in inches.  Then multiply that total (square inches) by the cost of the quilting style chosen. 
   
Example:  

Quilt measures 60” by 80”: 60 x 80 = 4800 square inches. 

Then multiply 4800 square inches x $.015  = $72.00. 

This is the quilting cost for a simple pantograph pattern.
         

 

BINDING

         
The binding is prepared from your fabric and machine stitched to the front of your quilt with finely mitered corners.
         
   

BINDING STYLE

COST

(PER LINEAR INCH)

   
Machine stitch to front of quilt only $ 0.12
Machine stitch to the front and back of quilt .18
Machine stitch to front, hand stitch to back of quilt .22
As above, using bias binding .25
Round/Scalloped edge quilts Quote
Sleeve for hanging  .25
   
Minimum Binding Charge $25.00
         
   
Calculating Binding Cost:  
Add the length of the four sides of the quilt, in inches, and then multiply that total (linear inches) by the cost of the binding style chosen.
   
Example:  

Quilt measures 60” x 80”: 60 + 60 + 80 + 80 = 280 linear inches.

Then multiply 280 inches x  $.22 = $61.60.

This is the cost for standard bindings hand stitched to the back of the quilt.
     

 

QUILT PREPARATION

         

Your quilt back and batting must be at least 6” longer and 6” wider than your quilt top. This will allow for 3” extra on each side for mounting the quilt and centering.  Please remove all selvage edges on the backing seams; this can create puckering on the back of your quilt.  Press and square your quilt top and back and remove stray threads.   Mark top of quilt with a safety pin.  If you prefer, you may send your fabric yardage with the quilt top, and I will piece, press and square it for you.

         
   

QUILT PREP COSTS

 
   
Piece, press and square backing $15.00
Press quilt top and seams $10.00
Mount king size quilt $10.00
   
   
Please note:  I routinely press out fold lines and minor wrinkles prior to quilting at no charge; above charges are for the non-ironer's and for pressing seams flat for better quilting results.
         
  BATTING
   
I have many battings available or you may supply your own. I can assist you with choosing the proper batting to best compliment your quilt.
