Quilting Definitions: 

Edge to Edge Quilting: 

A wide variety of edge-to-edge patterns to choose from.

Note: With this type of quilting, specific blocks & borders are ignored to create the edge-to-edge look. Prices depend on the pattern chosen due to the density of stitches & complexity of the design.

Semi-Custom Quilting:

When you have sections of the quilt you want quilted differently; perhaps the main area of the quilt is a pantograph, but you want something different in the borders OR maybe you want an all-over edge-to-edge design but need to pay attention to applique sections.

Basting: 

Choose from 2 or 4″ increments to baste the quilt so that you can finish the quilting either by hand or on your own domestic machine.

Additional Thread Colours

Solid, Variegated or Specialty Thread colour changes available at additional costs.

Binding

Machine stitch to top of quilt

Hand sew to back of quilt

Preparing Quilt Top

Should your quilt require additional attention such as pressing seams, fixing borders. A few guidelines for quilt preparation include the following:

1. Ensure that the batting and backing are at least 8 inches wider and 10 inches longer than the quilt top.
2. Ensure that the quilt top and backing are square.
3. Trim all threads from the quilt top and back.
4. Stay stitch around the top and/or backing where there are open seams.
5. Do not baste or pin the quilt top to batting or backing.
6. Use consistent 1/4″ seams, press seams to one side, and watch for seams that twist and cause a bump.
7. Give a finished quilt top a final press to ensure it is ready to be quilted.
8. Clip all loose threads and fabric, and trim dog-ears. Any of these can cause a shadow behind lighter fabrics if not removed.

Batting

We have a variety of Battings to choose from including 80/20 Premium Cotton/Polyester Blends, Bamboo/Cotton Blends, Polyester High and Low Lofts.

Prices range depending on the type of batting selected, Heirloom Premium, Quilters Dream, Natures Choice, etc.

Alternatively, you may also supply your own high-quality batting.

Disclaimers

Fullness &/or puckers within a quilt & its borders cannot be quilted out.  I cannot guarantee that puckers & tucks will not be sewn in.  Excessive fullness in borders may result in the quilt not being square.  The flatter your quilt top is prior to quilting, the better the finished quilt will be.

Longarm machines are mechanical devices and as such we do our best to ensure perfect results but on rare occasions, mechanical problems can occur which may result in minor damage to your quilt.

Prices do not include HST.

All items not claimed & paid for within 3 months of completion, will be donated or raffled off.
