Longarm Quilting Services
I am happy to provide computer-guided, edge-to-edge quilting using a Proto longarm machine and Intelliquilter software Pricing is per square inch. To determine the number of square inches in your quilt, multiply the length of the quilt x the width. Then multiply the total x .02 and you will get an idea of what it will cost for the quilting. We’ll discuss price, design, thread, and batting to make sure you are getting what you want.
Minimum charge per quilt – $45
Pricing starts at $.02 per square inch for most quilts and basic overall quilting (simple pantographs). Denser quilting, more intricate designs are priced higher. This will be determined when we discuss the needs of your quilt and how you want your quilt quilted.
Thread charge – $6 per quilt
Additional charge for thread color changes
Specialty threads are priced higher
Batting
You can provide your own. Or if you need batting, I carry Warm and Natural, Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 (cotton/poly), and Fairfield, Organic Cotton and Bamboo 50/50.
Preparing your quilt for the longarm
Quilt top should be squared and loose threads removed. Loose threads can get caught in the machine and also will show under light colored fabrics. Gently press the top.
Backing should be squared and a minimum of 6” larger than the top on all sides
Sheets will not be accepted – Sheeting is too tightly woven and does not produce a good result
Batting should be 6” larger than the quilt top on all sides
Let's talk about borders – Sometimes they can get wavy
If your quilt borders are wavy, there will be tucks or pleats in the quilt. The extra fullness cannot be quilted out. To avoid this, do the following when you add borders:
Measure down the center of your quilt and cut the first set of border strips to that length
Mark the centers of the strips and the centers of the sides of the quilt, and pin or baste from the center out to each side. Ease in any fullness and sew the sides from the center out.
For large quilts, take three measurements across the center, average the measurements, and use that number to get the right border length.
Re-measure and repeat the above steps for the top and bottom borders.
Washington State sales tax will be applied to total.
