Longarm Quilting Services
Edge-to-Edge Longarm Service - $.025/Square Inch
Also known as E2E, this longarm option is for one design or pattern across the entire quilt – from one edge to the other edge.
Sometimes you will see quilters offering B2B quilting services. This is Border to Border, which is sometimes seen as custom quilting. I list them as the same thing, and at the same price.
Custom Longarm Service- Starting at $.04/Square Inch
My custom longarm service includes free motion quilting and ruler work. This is offered when looking for a different design in each block or in different sections of the quilt. Prices can vary based on the density of the quilting and the intricacies of the stitching design. Ask for Details!
Binding by Longarm Service- $.10/Linear Inch
Yes, I really can bind your quilt using my longarm! If you have the binding prepared, I can attach it to the front of your quilt for 10 cents per linear inch.
I also offer services to make your binding, attach binding to the back of the quilt, and even do the full binding (create binding, attach to the quilt, then machine stitch on the opposite side). Prices vary on these options. Ask for details!
Did you know we offer free return shipping on orders over $100? You pay to have your quilt shipped to me, and I will include the return shipping, at no charge to you!

What do I need to know before
Bringing My Quilt?
Have your quilt ironed and threads trimmed.
This makes the process to load your quilt onto the machine much quicker.
Thread Choices
As a quilter, I generally pick a thread that blends the best overall for your design. If you have a specific thread color you want used, PLEASE tell me. I usually want thread to blend into the background, but sometimes a quilt just begs for the thread to stand out! So let me know your preferences.
Backing fabric needs to be 3-4" bigger than the top on all sides.
This means 6-8″ longer and wider than the quilt top. EXAMPLE: If you have a quilt that is 70″x70″, the quilt backing should measure 76″x76″ up to 78″x78″. The backing can be larger, but you need a minimum of 3″ on all sides to allow for loading the quilt and room to test the tension of the longarm machine before quilting.
Be prepared to discuss your likes and dislikes in style.
This helps me know what your tastes are and how to finish your quilt to your satisfaction.
Batting Options
You are welcome to send your own batting or purchase batting from me. Most quilters prefer to use 80/20 batting as it is warm and light weight and drapes well in the quilt. It is also machine washable. I always carry Hobbs 80/20 batting as well as Hobbs Washable Wool and polyester (thin to medium density).
