1. What is a quick overview of the process?
You have an amazing, finished quilt top and need it quilted with the backing and batting. I am here for you!!
When we meet, you can decide what color of thread you would like and what edge-to-edge design you want. See the pattern library for ideas. No worries, I can help you if you want!!
Your quilt will be quilted across all edges and then trimmed
You will have your quilt returned to you and ready for the binding
2. What must I provide?
Quilt Top: Pressed and trimmed
Backing: Pressed and at least 4” larger per side than quilt top. Can be larger, but not smaller. Can be pieced, see below
Batting: You can provide your own as long as it is batting for "Machine Quilting"
3. Can the backing be pieced?
Yes, it is best to use a 1/2' seam. Also, please leave selvage edges on the outside of the backing.
4. What type of longarm machine is used?
I have a Bernina Q24 with Q-Matic Automation.
5. Is free-motion quilting offered?
Not at this time.
6. What is the largest quilt you can accept?
The maximum width is 105”.
7. Do you trim the quilt?
Yes, I will trim the quilt unless you ask it to be not trimmed.
8. Do you have a minimum charge?
The minimum charge is $50. Any project smaller will round up to $50.
9. What if you don't have the quilt design I want?
Not a problem! We can look to find a desirable pattern.
10. Is batting included in your price?
No, however, I stock Quilters Dream Natural 100% cotton and Natural or White 80/20 Blend sold by the yard. You may want another type, which is fine. However, I recommend batting that is made for machine quilting.
11. If I am local, can I drop my quilt off?
If you are local to Boones Mill, VA we can arrange a place and time for drop-off/pick up.
