MACHINE QUILTING

All quilting is done on my computerized Gammill quilting machine. Your quilt sandwich will typically be completed within 2-3 weeks. 

PREPARING YOUR QUILT TOP FOR QUILTING

Press your quilt top and backing. When in doubt, press seams toward the darker fabric. 

Provide your own backing fabric. Backing must be larger than your quilt top; 4" wider and 6" longer, minimum.

Trim and remove excess threads and strings. These tend to show up in a finished product even when they are hardly visible before quilting.  

BATTING

High quality batting is provided at my studio at 

very competitive prices, so there is no need to 

provide your own. I will be stocking Hobbs. 

It is preferred that your batting be purchased 

at my studio for all machine quilting that is to 

be completed by me. ALL PRICES ARE

PATTERNS 

There are lots of quilting patterns to choose 

from! Please check the tab labeled photos 

for some examples. Open, widely spaced 

patterns work best with higher loft batting. 

Pattern choice is up to you and I will ask MANY

questions to help come to a conclusion. Some 

find this exhausting, but until I know you better, 

it's necessary. 

Typically, after dropoff, I will email or text you 

some pattern choices based on face to face 

discussions. We may go back and forth a 

couple of times, I will not start your quilt until 

we have agreed.

THREAD
I use high quality Superior So Fine 3-ply #50 

thread for all my quilting. This is only thread 

type I will use, my machine loves it.

I have 20+ colors stocked to choose from and I 

have color cards for samples of other colors. 

Choosing from the cards may cause a delay in 

delivery of your quilt sandwich while thread is 

ordered. There's no extra charge for selecting 

from the cards. 

COST - Still running a 30% discount on prices listed below!!
Minimum quilting costs start at just $48.00 for 

smallest quilt sizes but is typically calculated per 

square inch. Pricing starts at $0.017 per square 

inch is dependent on the pattern you chose and 

how much spacing between quilting. Minimum 

charge is due to the time is takes to load, unload 

and set up the software. 

1.7 cent - E2E, no more than 3 inches between quilting
2.0 cent - E2E, no more than 1.5 inches between quilting

2.4 cent - E2E, no more than 3/4 of an inches between quilting

3.0 - 7.0 - Custom work, price depends on how complicated

4.0 cent - E2E, tight, condensed stitching (PANT Woods or similar)

For example, if your quilt is 80" x 90" then your 

square inches are 7200. 7200 x 0.017 = $122.40 

for an E2E quilting pattern of no more than 3" 

between stitch lines.
