Preparing Your Quilt

  • Keep quilt layer separate.  No pinning or basting is required.
  • Quilt Top:
    • Your quilt top should be well pressed
    • Make sure edges are straight and top is as square as possible.
    • Check seams to make sure they are secure and trim off hanging threads
    • Leave off embellishments until quilting is done.
  •  Backing
    • Use a good quality muslin or other cotton quilting fabric.  Avoid using bedsheets for backing.
    • Measurement:  Backing should be 6" wider and longer and wider than quilt top.
    • Backing should be pressed and all selvages trimmed off.
    • Make sure it's as square as possible.
  • Batting
    • You may provide your own batting or ...
    • I offer cotton or polyester batting for an extra charge.  Batting needs to be 4 inches longer and wider than the quilt
    • Cotton batting shrinks a little when washed, giving your quilt an old-fashioned look.  Polyester doesn't shrink.

Measuring Your Quilt

Backing and Batting Measurements:
 *** Example:  a 94" x 94" quilt top needs a backing and batting that each measure 100" x 100"


Calculating the cost of quilting:

Multiply the length times the width of your quilt top to get square inches.  Multiply square inches times the cost of the quilting service you desire
 ***Example:  Your quilt top is 94" x 94"

You want an all over pantograph which is .01 (or .02) per square inch.
94 x 94 = 8836 square inches
8836 x .01 = $88.36 ($176.72) + any additional services + shipping costs

Calculating the cost of binding:
Your quilt top measures 80" x 100"

You want me to machine sew the binding and you will finish at home:
Width - 80" x 2 - 160"
Length  - 100" x 2 = 200"
Total of 360" x. .10 = $36.00

You want me to finish all of the binding:
Width - 80" x 2 = 160"
Length - 100" x 2 = 200"
Total of 360" x .20 = $72.00
