Quilting charges are based on cost per square inch. To calculate, multiply length x width in inches rounding up to the highest inch. For example, a throw quilt measuring 56″ x 70″ is 3,920 square inches.

Once you have calculated the area of your quilt, multiply that by the price per square inch. The quilting costs below includes the cost of thread (unless there is a specific thread color you would like us to order). There is a minimum charge of $50.

Quilting

Edge to Edge (E2E)/All-Over Designs

With an all-over design, the same style of quilting is quilted across the entire top of the quilt.

Simple All-Over Design (for example, meander, stippling, ripples, large swirls):

$0.02/square inch

Complex All-Over Design (for example, dense swirls, feathers, specialty shapes): $0.025/square inch

Semi-Custom Designs:

Semi-custom designs are perfect if you have an outside border that you would want us to quilt in a different way than the center of the quilt. $0.03-$0.05/square inch

Full Custom Designs: Fully custom quilting is unique to your quilt top, and designs are fit and filled within individual blocks, sashing and borders. Quilts with straight-line ruler work fit into this category as well.

Full Custom Design pricing depends on density and complexity but start at $0.06 +/ square inch and go up from there. A free video or in person consultation is recommended for all full custom designs.

Batting

You may provide your own high-quality batting, or you can purchase it directly from us. Unusual battings may incur an additional service fee.

We carry the following batting options in stock:

Quilters Dream 80/20 White (93 inches wide) $10/yard

Warm and Natural 100% Cotton (90 inches wide) $10/yard

Quilters Dream Wool (93 inches wide) $12/yard

Quilters Dream Bamboo Blend (93 inches wide) $12/yard

Poly Batting (check back for pricing)

We can also order other batting upon request.

Batting must be 8 inches longer than the length and width of your quilt (4 inches on each size). For example, a 50″ x 65″ quilt would need batting that is at least 58″ x 73″. Yardage is measured by the whole yard.

Binding Services

We are happy to provide you with finishing services for your quilt.

Binding costs are determined by the linear inches of the edges of your quilt. To calculate add together the four sides of your quilt in inches. (For example, a 50″ x 65″ quilt is 50+50+65+65=230 linear inches.) You would provide the fabric for the binding.

Option 1: We machine-stitch your prepared binding strips to the front of the quilt. That allows you to simply hand-stitch the binding to the back of your quilt. $0.10/linear inch.

Option 2: We machine-stitch your prepared binding strips on both the front and the back using a coordinating thread color. This means your quilt will be completely finished when We return it to you! $0.25/linear inch.

Option 3: Don’t want to prepare the strips for binding? Let us do all the work! We will cut and prepare the binding strips in the fabric you’ve provided and then machine stitch them to the front and back. $0.30/linear inch. This means your quilt will be completely finished when We return it to you!

Other Services

Backing Preparation/Piecing

Backing Preparation: Preparing backing fabric is $10 per seam.

Quilt Trimming

We can trim your quilt when the quilting is complete for $0.05 per linear inch (measurement of the outside edge of the quilt). You will need to specify if you want your quilt trimmed right at the edge of the quilt top or to a specific measurement beyond the top. If you opt to include binding services (listed above), quilt trimming is complementary.

Pressing, Thread Trimming, Repairs

If your quilt is in need of significant pressing, thread trimming or the repair of ripped seams, We can take care of all of that at a rate of $25/hour. Your written consent will be required before any services will be performed.

Labels

We can provided custom printed or embroidered labels for your quilt. Custom Labels start at $10. Please sent us an email if you have questions about this option.

Thread Costs and New Designs

New Thread Colors

We keep a large variety of neutral thread colors (and some bold options) in stock and will work with you to select a thread that will enhance your quilt. There is no charge for thread if you use a color that we already carry. If you request a color that we do not stock, there will be a thread charge of $10 per color.

New Quilting Designs

We will consult with you to determine design styles that will be a great fit for your quilt. If you have something specific in mind, please let me know! We have hundreds of designs to choose from, but if you are looking for something we do not have, we are more than happy to purchase a new pattern for a fee of $10.

Turnaround Time, Payment Methods, & Shipping/Delivery

Turnaround Time

My schedule for longarming varies based on how many quilts we have ahead of yours. Feel free to reach out for my current time estimate, and once we receive your quilt, we can provide a more detailed time frame for when you can expect quilting to be completed.

Payment

We ask for a $25 deposit when shipping your quilt/dropping off your quilt.

We will require payment in full before we ship your quilt or before you pick it up. For shipped quilts, we accept PayPal or Venmo. Local customers also have the option to pay by cash or check.

Shipping

Postage is the responsibility of the client. We recommend mailing your quilts via the US Postal Service using Flat Rate boxes, which include tracking and $50 insurance in the cost. You also can ship via UPS or other carriers, but we always recommend adding insurance coverage when shipping.

When we are sending your quilt back to you, we will insure your package for at least the amount of the quilting charge. We can also add additional insurance as needed, just let us know before we mail it out.

Delivery

Delivery is available in the Greater Grand Rapids Metro Area with an additional delivery fee. Please sent us an email if you have questions about this option.
