There is a $25 set up fee that includes squaring, pressing, picking up and dropping off. This set up
fee also includes one color of thread. Specialty threads and multiple thread changes have additional fees, see
below under "Threads"
There is a $50 minimum on all quilts. The only exceptions are for multiple small
lap quilts, wall hangings or table runners that share the same backing fabric. Please contact me for details.
My quilting prices are based on
square inches, and density of quilting. To figure the square inches of your quilt, multiply length by width. For example
90 inches x 85 inches = 7650 square inches.
I have four levels of pricing:
Basic:
Overall meander, edge to edge, or pantograph quilting without regard
to individual blocks or borders. This would be considered very open quilting. Begins at $.02 per square inch
Basic plus borders:
More intricate meander and patterns
with a separate design in the borders. There is a charge for turning the quilt. This involves removing it from the leaders
and repositioning it to complete the borders. Begins
at $.025 per square inch
Custom Quilting:
Medium density quilting with consideration for individual blocks, backgrounds, sashing, and borders. Begins at $.035 per square inch
Custom
Quilting Plus to Heirloom:
More dense quilting, including stitch in the ditch around appliques and blocks,
crosshatching, and other background fillers. This would be very fussy quilting, with possible color changes, and even trapunto
work. Begins at $.040 per square inch
Miscellaneous Fees:
Thread charge:
One choice of thread is included in the set up fee. I use So
Fine, Bottomline, Rainbows and Highlights from Superior Threads. There may be an additional fee for any specialty threads,
such as metallic or varegated. Multiple thread changes will have a $5.00 per color fee.
Turning Fee:
This is where the quilt is removed from the leaders
and repositioned to finish quilting the side borders. $10.00
Pieced backing: If you would like me to piece your backing for you. $10.00 per seam
