![]() Thread is an additional flat charge of $5. Thread I use Superior threads (Omni, So Fine, Bottom Line, King Tut, Fantastico) Fil-tec (Glide), and Wonderfil, and I have a variety of beautiful colors to choose from. Communication is key to this relationship!! I'll be honest about what I can provide for you, and I encourage you to be honest about what your expectations are. But we're all human, not perfect! And if you're looking for absolutely perfect quilting, look for a quilter that uses a computer or who offers heirloom quilting, because I'm not your gal! I am a hand-guided quilter-I use my hands, not a computer, and I don't quilt perfectly all the time! I am proud of the work I do-you can see it in my pictures-and I know I'm not perfect.none of us are. **In this era of gorgeous Instagram pictures, amazing fiber artists we drool over on the Internet, and mini-computers in our pockets all the time, it's easy to conclude that all our quilts should be gorgeous and absolutely perfect. (Please note I do not offer heirloom quilting.) You can see examples of custom quilting in my Quilt Gallery. The minimum charge for custom quilting is $100. Full custom is priced at 8-10 cents/square inch. Full-custom includes all the elements of mid-custom, and adds multiple changes of thread, grid work, significant ruler work, increased density, any designs that require significant marking, and attention to the elements of the quilt's piecing. Mid-custom is priced at 6 -7 cents/square inch depending on density and complexity.įull-custom quilting is for those special quilts that you want to uniquely enhance with extra-beautiful quilting. This level includes ruler work, light marking of a quilt, and some thread changes. It can also be used to lay a beautiful layer of texture over a quilt with less regard to the specific block piecing. Mid-custom can include flowers/feathers, geometric designs, swirls, some denser quilting such as pebbles or stippling, motifs, separate border treatments, etc. Mid-custom quilting takes the quilting up a notch, while still remaining affordable for that special quilt. This level is priced at 5 cents/square inch, and is a great choice when you want something unique but very budget-friendly. Light custom quilting involves quilting designs in specific places on the quilt, and can include wavy lines, organic crosshatching, meanders, leaves/flowers, loops, and/or continuous curve quilting. Light custom does not include any ruler work, such as stitch in the ditch. This makes custom quilting more artistic, time consuming, and personalized than E2E quilting. In custom quilting, the quilter free hands different designs on the quilt (or uses a computerized machine, which I don't). The second type of quilting is called c ustom quilting. Here's a great YouTube video to help you choose a quilting design! ![]() ![]() See a sampling of E2E patterns here and in my Quilt Gallery. ) The minimum charge for quilting an E2E design is $75.Īs an example, a typical queen sized quilt of 80 x 90 inches would cost $216 using a 3 cent design, and a typical twin quilt measuring 70 x 86 would cost $180 using a 3 cent design.Īn all-over meander, as well as horizontal or vertical straight line quilting also starts at 3 cents/square inch, and increases to 3.5 cents for lines closer than 2 inches apart. ( Total square inches is found by measuring your quilt's length and width, and multiplying those two numbers together. This quilting begins at 3 cents/square inch for very simple open designs, and goes up to 5.5 cents/square inch, based on the density and complexity of the pattern you choose. It uses a repeating pattern (called a pantograph), and I have many different designs to choose from. The least expensive is edge-to-edge (E2E), which is a design that's quilted from one side of your quilt to another, across the whole quilt. The cost of quilting depends on what design(s) you want on your quilt.
