Pricing - Quilting Services
Setup is based on the size of your quilt top and is required to prepare your top for longarm quilting. The charge covers checking for loose seams to prevent damage from the hopper foot, touch up pressing if wrinkles occur in transit to your top or backing, fluffing the batting to remove wrinkles, checking pressed seams to make sure they are flat to reduce large bumps in the finished quilt, checking for fullness in the quilt and remedying if possible, new needle, pattern research, setup of digitized pattern and evaluating if pattern and size is appropriate for the project plus other tasks as needed. I find that the more time I take to Setup and load your quilt the better the finished result.

Quilting is based on the square inch of your quilt top and the density of the pattern you choose. To find the square inches of your quilt top multiply the length measurement by the width measurement.
There is a $100.00 minimum quilting charge for all quilt projects.

See the Preparing Your Quilt page for detailed instructions to save you add-on charges.
Quilt Top Repairs maybe necessary and will be priced based on the amount and severity of repairs needed. Check your seams carefully to avoid this add-on charge. I will email you a photo of the problem I have found for your approval of repair. I can also return the quilt to you for you to perform the repairs but this will change your position in my customer quilt queue. We can discuss.
It is important to secure all seams to prevent the machine hopper foot from getting entangled and tearing the quilt top fabric.
