Long-arm quilting is a hand-guided art full of imagination and personality. Each quilt takes an average of one hour to "setup" on the machine table. Please insure that your quilt top and backing have been squared. Long-arm quilting will not "fix" misaligned work or uneven borders that can cause your quilt to have puckers or tucks when quilted.

 
  Prices charged are based on the size of the quilt and the complexity of design to be quilted. Pricing at .015 (1 ½ cents) per square inch up to .08 per square inch. There is a minimum charge of $40.00. (Basting service for hand quilters has a $25.00 minimum) To estimate quilting charges, simply find the area of the quilt by multiplying width by length. Now multiply that total by the amount of the design you want. 80 x 80 = 6400 x .02 cents per square inch = $128.00
