Understanding the Cost
Inclusive Pricing
We’ve tried to take the guesswork out of pricing your quilting needs by keeping our per-square-inch pricing as inclusive and straightforward as possible.
​
Our standard quilting price includes your choice of select Quilter’s Dream batting, high-quality solid-color thread, and a light all-over steam to help remove fold wrinkles. Standard quilting is considered medium density, meaning the average spacing between stitched areas is around 4 inches and the quilting design is moderately detailed.
​
If you would like tighter stitching or a more intricate pantograph design, a 30% surcharge applies. Higher-density quilting requires significantly more stitching time and thread to complete.
Binding is not included in the base quilting price. If you would like us to bind your quilt, we offer binding services at 60¢ per minute.

A Stitch in Time
Is Sometimes Hard to Find
If you’re looking for longarm quilting services and would rather see your quilt finished sooner than later, you’ve come to the right place.
In our experience, quilts are often created for special occasions, meaningful gifts, and milestone moments — which usually means there’s a deadline involved. That’s why we staff a dedicated quilter to help provide reasonable turnaround times for our customers.
And if you’re in a real hurry? We may just call in a few after-hours quilt fairies to work their magic and get your quilt ready for the ball.
Preparing Your Quilt
Provide Enough Backing Fabric
When bringing in your quilt, please provide backing fabric that is at least 5" larger than your quilt top on all sides. This extra fabric is necessary for loading the quilt onto the longarm machine and achieving proper tension during quilting. For example, a 40" × 60" quilt top requires at least a 50" × 70" backing.
We especially love working with minky backing — it quilts beautifully and adds a luxurious softness to the finished quilt. Be sure to check out our selection of extra-wide Shannon Cuddle for an affordable and stunning backing option.
​
Backstitch Edge Seams
During the piecing process, many quilters do not back stitch because most seams are eventually secured by crossing seams or enclosed within the binding. However, longarm quilting places gentle tension on the quilt top to keep it smooth and flat on the machine, which can sometimes cause edge seams to unravel if they are unsecured.
​
Before bringing in your quilt, go back and back stitch any seams that touch the outer edge of the quilt top. This simple step helps prevent seams from opening during quilting.
Press All Seams Flat
You’ve probably spent plenty of time admiring your quilt from the front — now it’s time to flip it over and give the back a careful inspection before quilting.
​
Check for bulky seams, loose threads, fabric clumps from fraying edges, or anything else that may prevent the quilt from laying smoothly on the machine. These small issues can sometimes create bumps or puckers once quilted.
​
For best results, trim excess threads and press all seams flat from the back before bringing in your quilt.
We love the collaboration of helping our clients bring their projects to life. And above all, we hope to ensure that those projects are finished in time to bless the special life events they were intended for.
