Dear Quilter,

Thank you for your interest in my machine quilting. If you have a special request, please let me know and I will find the pattern. Your quilt will be as free of pleats and wrinkles as your piecing will allow. I cannot "quilt out" fullness and wrinkles that have been pieced in.

It is very important that your quilt top and quilt back be square. This will ensure the least amount of stretching of the fabric. You can ship your quilt UPS or US Mail. Please insure your quilt for the full value. Attach your name, address and phone number and any other instructions you may have. I will call you when I get your order to go over quilting suggestions and to let you know when your quilt will be scheduled for the machine.

Preparation of your quilt

All quilt tops must be pressed with all seams trimmed and ironed flat. All stray threads must be removed. There will be an additional charge of $20/hr to press the quilt and/or remove extra threads.
IMPORTANT: Stay stitch 1/8" around the entire quilt. This stabilizes the quilt and secures all seams.
Identify the head and foot of the quilt. Pin a tag labeled Head onto the head of the quilt.
Backing must be at least 6" (3" on each side) larger than the quilt top in both length and width. If there is a top to back, please identify that.
Make sure the quilt top and back are square.
Do not pin/baste the quilt.

How to figure the square yards

Measure the length of the quilt top in inches (L).
Measure the width of the quilt top in inches (W).
Multiply the length (L) times the width (W) to get the area (A).
Divide the area (A) by 1296 to convert to square yards.
Example: Queen-size quilt top 90" (L) x 108" (W) = 9720

9720/1296 = 7.5 square yards.

Fees

Motifs

These are individual patterns that can be used in squares, circles or triangles on your quilt. They are usually used in combination with another type of quilting.

All over patterns

A pattern that covers the entire quilt. This is the fastest form of machine quilting. Uses more thread.

Fees
$25 sq yd

Meandering

A random, curving continuous pattern. Due to the dense nature of this design it is the most time-consuming (and the most costly) method of quilting.

Fees
$20 sq yd (whole quilt)

Extra thread charge for landscape meandering $10.00

Borders

Separate repeating pattern around the outside of the quilt, i.e. a frame. There is a fixed charge of $15.00 per turning for this option, regardless of the quilt size, since the quilt must be removed rotated 90 degrees and reinstalled on the machine.

Fees
$15 Turning charge
