You, the piecer, are always responsible for being sure your quilt is properly prepared to be quilted. It must be clean, free of threads, and pressed. The backing, batting, and thread are costs that are in addition to the price of quilting. Please feel free to bring your own batting and backing. We do not quilt on polyester batting and the backing must be four inches larger the entire way around the quilt. We carry a wide variety of 108" or wider backing and batting up to 124" . You will be given a quote for quilting before it is started and if there are any changes you will be contacted.
We understand that everyone has a budget so please feel free to let us know what you were intending to spend. We will do our best to stay within your budget.

To have it made and sewn by machine on both sides is $2.00 per linear foot. To have the binding made, applied to the front by machine and hand stitched on the back is $3.50 per linear foot (this is the most common method of attaching binding).
