Pricing of Services/ Services offered
Long Arm quilting :
I can quilt your quilt top at whatever level fits your desire and your wallet. Long arm quilting is priced per square inch based on the size of the top. To figure out the number of inches in your top simply measure the height and width, multiply the height by the width (in inches) , and that will give you the number of square inches in your quilt. For example: a top that is 86 inches by 70 inches (86 X 70) would be 6,020 square inches.
Pricing is based on the difficulty and intensity of the quilting.
Level 1. $0.02 per square inch . $0.25 /square inch with minky backing.
This level is edge to edge quilting, simple pantograph or simple meandering
Level 2. $0.035 -$0.04 per square inch
Edge to edge quilting/ pantograph that is more complex or dense.
Level 3 . Center of quilt edge to edge and borders quilted separately. Center is $0.02/square inch. Each border is $30.00
Level 4 custom Quilting. This includes any quilting around appliqué, ditching, background fill, or quilting individual blocks throughout the quilt. This includes borders on custom quilts. Includes thread changes to match thread to blocks as needed . $0.06/square inch and up.
QUILT PREPARATION
The quilt top should be pressed and square. Backing should be pressed and square. Backing and batting should be 6 inches larger than the top (i.e. 3 inches per side and 3 inches top and bottom) If you prefer, I am happy to square up and press the backing for a charge: $20 to press and $20 to square up.
BATTING
You may provide the batting of your choice, or I can provide the batting. Charge is based on the linear inch measurements on the short side of the quilt. Except for larger quilts desiring wool.

80/20 bleached ( recommendated for very light/white quilts) $0.30/linear inch
