What is Longarm Quilting?

Longarm quilting is the process of assembling the 3 parts of a quilt (top, batting, back) into a completed quilt using a specialized machine designed for this process.

The earliest quilting machines only allowed for straight lines, but today's computer driven machines allow for all over patterns (called pantographs) that range from simple to incredibly complex.

Our Longarm Quilting Services

Price Guide for Basic Pantograph (all over pattern) Work and Meander.

Please note, we price our quilting by the square inch, and the prices below are for common quilt sizes to be used as a ballpark figure. Your individual price will be calculated based on the actual dimensions of your quilt top.

Our quilting rates start at $0.025 per square inch for edge-to-edge patterns. We have thousands of patterns and are willing to purchase more to find the perfect fit for your quilt!

Specialty threads, thread changes, turning for border work, particularly complex patterns, medallion work, and other custom design choices are available at a higher rate; however, we are willing to work within your budget. Our goal is always to help your quilt look as good as you want, not just quilt it the way we want.

You may supply the batting, or purchase it from us for an additional charge. We request that the back or batting you provide be at least 4 inches larger than your quilt top, all the way around. For example: for a 100x100 quilt your backing and batting should be at least 108x108.  We also ask that you do not pre-layer your quilt, as we do that when we put it on our quilter. Please be aware that we reserve the right to refuse battings that are incompatible with our services.

A free personalization/quilt label embroidery is included with any quilting order. We also offer custom bias tape-making and custom binding services if you desire.

We stock several types of batting including  Quilter's Dream Cotton Deluxe, Dream Puff, and Dream Wool.

Prices are effective as of May 15, 2024, and are subject to change.

Requirements & Helpful Hints

1.Make sure your backing and batting are at least 4 bigger on all sides than your top.

2. Make sure your seams are well pressed. The top and back should lie flat. Make sure selvages are not left in backing seams!

3. The quilt top and backing fabric should be free of loose threads, both front and back, that can cause snags, uneven stitching, or be stitched into your quilt.
