| Longarm Machine Quilting |
What is longarm machine quilting?
A longarm machine is a large sewing machine on wheels that is used to sew together
the quilt top, the batting, and the backing fabric into a quilt. In this process, the three
pieces are loaded separately onto rollers that keep them straight and flat for quilting.
I use a Nolting PRO 24, a professional, stitch-regulated, hand guided longarm
quilting machine, to make your quilt top into a finished quilt. Services I offer range
from simple all-over freehand (no pattern) meandering to complex custom patterns
placed carefully onto your top to mimic the hand quilting of years ago. Battings are
available for your convenience at reasonable pricing, and I can even bind your quilt
for you for an additional fee. I offer computer generated fabric labels for
documenting your quilt, too - an important last step that I really encourage, to keep
details about the quilt and quilt maker known for future generations.

| How much will my quilt top cost to get quilted? Pricing for my quilting starts at $50, but is determined by the size of the quilt and the type of quilting desired. Size of the quilt: Simply measure your quilt top in inches and multiply the length times the width to get the number of square inches. Length x Width = Square Inches Type of Quilting: Simple freehand meandering is a style of quilting that does not follow the pieced quilt pattern but rather flows across the quilt top randomly. It costs $.01 per square inch. Pantographs, or paper patterns, are continuous line drawings that often follow a theme and are applied to the quilt top in rows. Pantographs vary greatly in complexity of design, and are priced from $.02 per square inch up to $.04 per square inch. Custom Quilting is quilting that responds to the quilt's design and piecing, or to the customer's desires. Many times this includes traditional motifs, like feathers or feather wreaths, crosshatching, stenciled designs, of following in the exact path of the pieced top (commonly called Stitch in the Ditch or SID). Although very popular, this is the most costly since it is the most time consuming of the quilting methods. Pricing starts at $.03 and can run higher depending on the complexity and the amount of quilting time needed to finish it. |
