Wondering how it works?
- You contact me for an appointment to bring (or mail) your quilt to my home in Edmonds.
- We talk about what you’d like, including design choices, thread, and batting.
- I give you a written estimate for the quilting, as well as a timeline for completion. I'm currently scheduling quilts about 12 weeks out; timing depends on the season and the complexity of your quilt. Your quilt doesn't need to be finished yet to get on my calendar!!
- You leave the quilt with me and I quilt it.
- You pick up your quilt and pay me. I accept checks and cash. (I also accept Paypal and Venmo with an additional 3% merchant fee. I don't accept credit cards.)
Pricing
The cost of quilting depends on the density of the design you choose. I offer Edge-to-edge (E2E) quilting, which is a design that's quilted from one side of your quilt to another, across the whole quilt. It uses a repeating pattern (called a pantograph), and your choice of patterns is extensive! E2E quilting ranges from 4-5 cents/square inch for medium density designs, and 5.5-6 cents/square inch for high density designs. This price range allows you to choose your own scale and density of the quilting.
The minimum charge for quilting is $100 per quilt. Small quilts might price below this minimum, but will be charged the minimum amount.
Please note that I no longer offer custom quilting.
See a sampling of E2E patterns here and in my Quilt Gallery.

Thread I use Superior threads (So Fine, Bottom Line, Fantastico) Fil-tec (Glide), and Wonderfil, and I have a variety of beautiful colors to choose from. Thread is an additional flat charge of $10. Unfortunately, I cannot accept customer-provided thread.
Batting You are welcome to provide your own batting for use (make sure it's not flimsy or so thin that it pulls apart when handled), or you can purchase from me. I stock Hobbs Heirloom Premium 80/20 cotton poly blend ($15.00/yard, 96 inch wide, not a lot of loft, but more than 100% cotton, lighter and more durable than cotton, machine washable/dry, shrinks 3-5%) and Hobbs Tuscany Wool (Queen size 96x108 package $50), soft and luxurious feel, brings out piecing and stitching, doesn't hold wrinkles so it's great for wall quilts, great warmth without weight, "breathes" well, more loft than 80/20, also shrinks 3-5%, machine washable in cold water/air dry but best if dried flat). Visit Hobbs Batting to determine the best type of batting for your project.
Other services: I will trim your quilt edges after quilting at no charge, and I offer the following services at $30/hour: machine basting quilts, pressing the quilt top/back, shopping for backing fabric, pre-washing backing, piecing backing, and extensive thread clipping on quilt backing.
Please note that I only offer binding services to people who can't do it themselves. You can do this! There are helpful videos out there :)
Binding charges:
.15/linear inch partial binding (you provide ready-to-use binding; machine sewn to the front of the quilt and you sew it to the back).
.20/linear inch front/back binding (you provide ready-to-use binding; machine sewn to the back & turned to the front and machine sewn).
.25/linear inch complete binding (I make the binding and machine sew it on the quilt--you go home with a finished quilt!).
WA State tax of 10.8% will be charged on all services.
