FAQ
  • how does pricing work for longarm quilting?
    quilting is charged by square inch. so if you send in a lap size quilt that measures 36" by 48", you would multiply those two dimensions to get your square inches. 36" x 48" = 1,728 sq in. you would then multiply it by my pricing. standard pricing is 0.0275¢ per square inch. 1,728 x 0.0275¢ = $47.52.
  • how should i prepare my quilt?
    • make sure your backing and batting (if you're sending your own) are at least 4” bigger on all four sides of your quilt. • if your quilt top does not have a border, sew a stay stitch all the way around the edges so your seams do not come apart! • square up your quilt top AND backing. the quilt top must lay flat. measure quilt top across the top, bottom, and at the center. these measurements should be the same. if not, you may end up with puckers and an un-square finished quilt. • if you prewash your quilt top it is highly recommended that you also prewash your backing fabric. • remove any loose threads, especially dark threads that may be seen under adjacent light fabrics. • iron your entire quilt - both top + backing! • if your quilt top or backing is directional, please pin a note to the top • when you ship your quilt, please place it in a bag inside the box to protect it if the box gets wet
  • what are pantographs?
    pantographs are quilting designs that stitch across the quilt top. i usually only quilt edge-to-edge, meaning the panto is quilted over the entire quilt without regard to the design.
