RATES
Square Inch Price
I charge an average of 3 cents per square inch for medium density digital or paper pantograph designs.
Example: A quilt top is 60 inches x 80 inches. 60 x 80 = 4800 x .03 = $144.
My minimum quilting charge is $40. This means that a small quilt or table runner's square inch price will be rounded up to the $40 minimum.
​
For custom designs, we will work with you to understand your design requirements so we can provide a working estimate on your project.
Batting
I use, and have in stock, some batting in the 80/20 cotton/poly blend, 100% cotton, and in 100% poly. If you are not sending batting with your quilt project, and you have specific brands you would like to use in your quilt, be sure to specify this in the Book a Quilt form so that we can have that available for your quilt.
​
Batting is a separate charge and is NOT included in the square inch price.
I charge for batting by the linear inch from queen rolls of batting except in the case of special orders. I will use only what is needed for your quilt (smallest side + a 5" margin) and charge per inch.
For example, if you have a 60" x 80" quilt, I would cut 65" of the batting of your choice.
65" of 100% cotton batting @ $0.40/in = $26.00
65" of 80/20 cotton/poly blend @ $0.33/in = $21.45
65" of 100% poly @ $0.26/in = $16.90
Thread
I stock both Glide (#40 & #50 weight) and some So Fine (#50) threads. I don't charge any extra fees for thread use, it's included in your square inch price.
My personal style attempts to match or blend thread color with the lighter areas of your quilt. But this is YOUR quilt! Let me know if you have a preference on thread color.
Photography
I'm not a professional photographer but I do my best to take "nice" photos! Upon completion of the quilting, I will take photos of your quilt in my studio and then text/email you those images to use however you would like. I would just ask that you credit me for the photo and/or quilting if posting publicly. This extra service is included in your square inch price. If you like, I may even post them on this website under the My Work link (let me know 💕)
Shipping
Shipping your top, batting and backing to me: I live in Buda, Texas USA, and would be happy to receive your top, batting and backing by mail. I'd recommend sending your materials enclosed in some type of sack or bag to protect against possible moisture in transit and then placed in a hard-sided cardboard box. Make sure the box is securely taped and labeled clearly.
Return shipping: I will send your quilt back to you in the manner described above via USPS Priority mail (using flat rate when possible/economical). Priority mail comes with $100.00 of insurance and a tracking number but please indicate on your intake form if you would like me to buy any additional insurance on your behalf. It's a great idea to insure your valuables against loss or damage while with the Postal Service, but I don't require it.
Other Costs
As mentioned above, batting is not included in the square inch price. I'm required by the State of Texas to collect a 8.25% sales tax on the quilting service portion of an invoice. Batting, shipping, and any design/pantograph fees are also subject to sales tax in Texas.
Payment
After the work is complete, I will invoice you via PayPal. I really do appreciate timely payments as that enables me to mail your project(s) back to you right away.
