Pricing
I'm eager to get your business -- contact me and I can tell you more about my services. New clients receive a $25 gift certificate toward any quilting service over $75 -- I'd like to make it easy for you to get your quilt completed!
Scheduling
I only work on one quilt at a time. You can see my predicted schedule and where I have availability by clicking on the quilting schedule link on the menu above. I reserve the right to turn down a quilting project if for any reason I feel I cannot do the job to the highest standards. I quilt in a smoke-free, pet-free environment. I do not take more than three quilts at a time -- that way, I can control the time you have to wait for your quilt, and you have an accurate estimate of when it will be returned to you.
Quilting Prices
Machine basting for hand-quilting is available at $0.008 / sq in. Machine quilting is priced from the square inch, starting at $0.015/sq in. All-over work is based on the density of stitching; I have broken these down into 5 categories. Examples of each category are given on the patterns page. You can use one or multiple categories of quilting to control your costs or enhance the final design of the quilt.
| Category A: Basic Meander | $0.015/sq in |
| Category B: Loose, Themed Meander; Loose Pantographs | $0.020/sq in |
| Category C: Complicated Meander; Complicated Pantographs | $0.025/sq in |
| Category D: Dense Fills; Dense Pantographs; Motifs > 6" | $0.030/sq in |
| Category E: Echoing; Themed Dense Fill or Pantographs; Quilt-Specific fill; Detailed Applique work; Motifs < 6" | $0.040/sq in |
