HAND GUIDED MACHINE QUILTING
Once
I have received your order, please allow 8-10 weeks for quilt to be
completed. Contact me if you need your quilt back sooner and I'll
see where I'm at with other quilts and see what I can do. If you are in Alliance, you may
call and arrange an appointment to meet with me to discuss your
needs. You may also call or text me at (308) 760-8179 or email me at the address listed at the top of this page for an
estimate.
If
I receive your order by mail, payment must be received before I will
mail out your finished quilt. You can send the payment with your order or I can send or email you an invoice when the quilting is
complete. Payment can be made by cash, check, money order, Venmo or PayPal.
Finished quilt will be shipped out UPS and insured for $200 per
quilt. Estimated
shipping,
handling, and insurance charges are $25 for one quilt and $35 for 2
quilts.
These
costs will vary due to location and size of box.
I can
notify you after quilt is shipped for the exact shipping &
handling cost and adjust your total due.
PLEASE
make
sure your quilt top is pressed and in reasonably good condition.
Check for tucks and loose or raw seams. We
will both be happier with the results if the quilt top is pressed,
lays relatively flat and has very few tucks.
I have found that polyester or polyester blend fabric will stretch
and produce a fuller top in places. If there are any repairs that
need to be done, I will notify you before quilting is started. Small
problems can be fixed during the quilting process. Please
note there will be a fee charged for repairs that I do to the quilt
top or backing before or during quilting.

MACHINE QUILTING
Overall/pantograph
design is $16.00 per square
yard. Custom-outline,
motifs with or without one border is $24.00 per square yard. You
can figure square yard by multiplying your quilt top length times
width and then dividing
that
by 1296. I can take a look at your quilt top or get a description of
your quilt top and
what
you want done and then give you an estimate before I quilt it or to
determine which price
range
it falls under.
(Minimum quilting
charge of $30 for overall designs and $60 for custom/outline. There
is an additional $10 charge for each additional border when doing overall quilting, if special stitching is requested in the border. Prices
listed above do
not
include the cost of batting, backing or binding)

3% shrinkage. Warm
80/20 batting is 80% cotton and 20% polyester and 110” wide. There

1% shrinkage.
Batting
samples available upon request. If you decide to furnish your own
batting, batting
must be at
least 8"
longer and 8" wider than quilt top. Use of your batting - please add
$2.00.
BACKING (LINING)
108"
wide, 100% Cotton, white $5.25 per yard. I can machine
prewash my backing fabric before I quilt it, if you prefer for an
extra $5.00. If you decide to
furnish backing, backing
must be at least 8" longer and 8" wider than quilt top. Backing sample
available upon request.
BINDING
(I apply binding to finished quilt)
When I have
quilted your quilt it will cost $.05 per
measured inch to bind. When you or
someone else quilted your quilt, it will cost $.07 per measured inch to bind. You will need to
furnish at least 1 yard of 42-44" wide fabric -depending on size of
quilt top-larger quilts require more fabric.
I use straight grain
strips for a double binding and make mitered corners. I machine
finish the binding to the front.
I can also turn the
backing up and over the top for binding, if preferred.
Other
services available: sewing, alterations, sweater and afghan repair,
and machine embroidery. See reverse side for quilting pattern
choices. Any quilting patterns shown may be reduced or enlarged if
necessary and appropriate.

thank you for your time and interest in my machine quilting.
