What type of Quilting do you do?

I specialize in computerized Edge to Edge Quilting on my Gammill Statler Stitcher.

Edge to Edge Quilting is a single design that is quilted evenly row by row over the entire quilt top.

How do you determine your prices?

Your total cost will be based on the following:

• quilt size - length x width

• selected edge-to-edge design

• selected batting type

• NO Thread Charge! Yeah!

  I use So Fine thread by Superior

• any miscellaneous services selected

• shipping and handling if needed

Please note:

• Do not apply any embellishments, buttons, etc. prior to mailing me your quilt top.

• Do not baste your layers together. I will roll each piece on separate rollers on my longarm frame.

You have more questions? Great! I’ve had many years of quilting experience and am happy to help you choose the perfect E2E Design and thread color that will compliment your quilt.

Pricing for Edge to Edge Quilting?

Prices are calculated by the square inch starting at $0.25 psi (per square inch) on up to $0.03.25 psi depending on the complexity of the quilting design and the stitch-out time.

Total Cost is determined by the square inches of your quilt top.

Ex. A quilt top measuring…

60 inches wide x 80 inches long = 4,800 square inches

4,800 square inches x $0.025 per square inch = $120.

Minimum Charge is $50

Sales tax of $0.0825 is added to all services and goods for TX Residents only.

How Do I choose an Edge to Edge Design?

Option 1: If you would like me to make suggestions (or would trust me to pick for you), I am happy to do so. Simply describe what you have in mind, and I will search my database to find just the right pattern.

Option 2: Want to choose your own pattern? Take a look at the digitized quilting patterns on my website. Click here to go to "Edge-to-Edge Designs." Don’s see what you want, check with me to see what else I have available. You might also click the Portfolio tab to see finished quilts for more inspiration!

Option 3: Don’t see what you are looking for? You can browse commercially available digital pantographs for purchase using the links below. Search the terms "digital pantograph" or "digital edge-to-edge" (E2E) to browse. All E2E Designs need to be available in “.qli” format in order to be compatible with my Statler. If you find a design you like, type the design name and the website where you found it on the “Book My Quilt” Form. I will purchase the new E2E design, and a flat $10 fee will be added to your invoice.

What is the minimum turnaround time?

Turnaround time for Edge to Edge Quilting is approximately 2-3 weeks from when I receive your quilt in the studio.

How do I pay for longarm Quilting?

You will receive an invoice via PayPal once I have finished your quilt. Mail-in customers may pay via PayPal or Zelle friends or Venmo. Local customers may pay using check or cash in addition to the methods listed above. Payment is due upon receipt or prior to mailing.

How do I get my quilt to you?

1. You may ship your quilt to my studio using the address provided once I review and confirm your quilting submission request.

2. If you are local, note this on the bottom of the “Book My Quilt” form, and I will contact you to make arrangements to meet. Quilts may be dropped off at my studio on Monday, Tuesday or Thursday afternoons by appointment, or we can arrange to meet in town on one of the days mentioned above.

How should you prepare your quilt for longarm quilting?

1. Square up your quilt top as best you can.

2. Press all the seams on the quilt top and backing and make sure that there aren’t any pleats or hard creases anywhere.

3. Make sure that both ends of your backing are straightened and square. Squaring up the backing is necessary in order for me to be able to load it onto my quilting frame as straight as possible. If your backing isn’t square, I will need to straighten it for you and will add an additional service fee to your invoice. Note: I will always contact you before adding any additional services to your invoice.

4. Your quilt backing must be 8" longer and 8" wider than your quilt top.

Ex: For a quilt top measuring 60” x 80” - Your quilt backing should measure a minimum of 68” x 88”)

5. Clip off all excessive loose strings around the edges of your quilt and on the back of the quilt to prevent them from showing through the top once it has been quilted.

6. **If you have multiple seams which end along the edges of the quilt, it is highly recommended that you stay stitch 1/8th inch inside the edge of the quilt top around the entire perimeter of the quilt top using a1.8 or 2.0 stitch length. This will keep these seams from popping open during the quilting process.

7. Mark the top edges of your quilt top and backing fabric using a safety pin to affix a label marked "TOP" to the appropriate edges. This is especially important for directional prints and patterns!

8. Please place your quilt in a sealed plastic bag to prevent any possible damage to your quilt by water or any other means. I will return your quilt in a sealed plastic bag as well.

Will you bind my quilt?

Yes! I love to bind quilts. See below:

• Make the binding -
