Pricing for Edge-to-Edge Quilting

 

Our pricing is based on the total square footage of your quilt top. Currently we only offer Edge-to-Edge (E2E) designs, where a single, gorgeous pattern is repeated uniformly across the entire quilt. 

​

  • Simple E2E (Large, Open designs like meander or loops) = $0.02 

  • Medium E2E (Floral, Geometric, or moderately dense patterns) = $0.025 

  • Dense E2E (Very intricate or small-scale patterns) = $0.03

​

Turn around times are within 1-2 weeks after your quilt has arrived in our studio!

​

 

How to Calculate Your Cost:

 

  1. Square Inches: Quilt Top Width (in) × Quilt Top Length (in)=Total Square Inches

  2. Quilting Cost: Total Square Inches × Price Per Square Inch=Quilting Cost

 

Example: A 60" x 80" quilt with a Medium E2E design:

60×80=4,800 sq in

4,800×$0.025=$120.00 (Quilting Cost)

 

Batting and Thread

 

 

Batting 

 

Batting Options

​

You may purchase batting from our studio or supply your own. We offer:

​

  • 80/20 Cotton/Poly Blend - (Our house choice)$0.35/linear inch. This batting has excellent durability and drape.

​

  • 100% Cotton - (High-quality natural batting)$0.45/linear inch. This batting has maximum natural feel and warmth.

​

  • Customer-Supplied - $0.00. For the best life of your quilt, use high-quality batting.

​

 

Thread

 

  • Thread Fee: A flat fee of $8.00 is charged per quilt for high-quality polyester or cotton thread that best matches your quilt top. This fee covers all thread used on the top and bobbin.

 

Preparation and Service Policies

 

Please follow these guidelines to avoid additional preparation fees or delays.

 

Quilt Top Preparation

 

  • Pressing: Please press Quilt top, including seams so that it lays neat and flat. 

  • Trimming: Trim all loose threads from both the front and back of your quilt top, especially dark threads on light fabrics.

  • Orientation: Mark the top edge of your quilt top with a safety pin if the orientation is not obvious.

  • Separation: Do NOT pin or baste the quilt top, batting, and backing together. Send them as three separate pieces.

  • Additional prep: We charge a $25.00 preparation fee if the top requires extensive pressing, trimming threads, or repair before quilting can begin. We will contact you before incurring this charge.

 

Backing Fabric Requirements

 

  • Size: The backing fabric must be at least 4 inches wider and 4 inches longer than the quilt top on all four sides.

    • Example: For a 60" x 80" top, the backing must be at least 68" x 88".

  • Seams: If piecing the backing, a 1/2" seam allowance is recommended. Press the seam open, and ensure the backing fabric is squared and free of waves along the edges.

  • Pressing: Please press your backing fabric so that it lays neat and flat.

 

Shipping

 

  • Shipping Costs: The customer is responsible for all shipping costs (sending the quilt to us and return shipping to you).

  • Insurance: We recommend insuring your package for the full replacement value of the fabric/quilt top when shipping it to us. Return shipping insurance will be applied to your final invoice.

  • Liability: We take utmost care of your project, but we are not responsible for damage or loss incurred during transit.
