Longarm Quilting Services Pricing Information
Winter 2020
- Maximum width my longarm quilting frame can accommodate: 108” (274 cm) - note: this is the maximum size of the backing!
- The pricing for each quilt will be determined by the size of the quilt and the complexity of the quilting.
- Rates are per square inch. To determine square inches, measure the length and width of your quilt top, then multiply these numbers. For example, in a quilt that is 60” x 80”, there are 4,800 square inches in the quilt top.
- Each quilting engagement will include a quote, where we discuss and agree on the quilting plan to be completed. These are general guidelines.

- I hand stitch very slowly and detest this task. Really, I'd rather not do this at all, ever! I will if needed, and I'm very good at it, it is just really expensive as it keeps me from doing other things I like so much better - like ruler work custom quilting.
