PLEASE NOTE: Our family relocated from Charlotte, North Carolina to Naples, Florida in January of 2024. Please confirm that you have the correct FLORIDA address before shipping your quilt to me. Thank you!
Why YES; I'd LOVE to quilt for you! 😀. Seriously -- whether it's your first quilt ever or you have
created a masterpiece destined for show, I would be
delighted to quilt your top in a way that enhances your patchwork
and shows your work in the best possible light.

What's Edge-to-Edge Quilting?

How Much Will it Cost?
Quilting Labor + Thread + Batting = Total
1. Quilting labor depends on the size of your quilt, the complexity of the quilting design, and how long it will take me to complete your quilt. I quote labor individually for every quilt and will give you a written estimate before beginning the work, but here are some typical charges to give you an idea: My minimum quilting charge for wallhangings and very small baby quilts is $65. Expect to pay about $70 for a larger baby quilt, $120 for a lap/throw quilt, $300 for a queen quilt, and $415 for a king.

2. Thread:
The actual cost of thread used on your quilt (not an entire cone) will be adjusted on your final invoice. I stock a rainbow assortment of polyester and 100% cotton threads in various weights and sheens including Aurifil, YLI, King Tut, Omni, So Fine, Glide, Metallic, Bottom Line, etc. and I will suggest options for your quilt once I see it in person.

3. Batting: 8 Options to Choose From
I sell most quilt batting by the linear inch.
I stock a wider variety of high-quality battings than most quilt
shops -- because what's inside the quilt really does make a
difference! Once I receive your quilt top, I can recommend the
perfect batting based on your budget, the look you want, and the
intended use of your finished quilt.
-
Quilter's Dream Cotton, Midloft "Select" or 50% thicker "Deluxe" Loft
-
Quilter's Dream 80/20 Cotton/Poly Blend
-
Quilter's Dream Poly
-
Quilter's Dream Wool
-
Quilter's Dream Bamboo/Silk/Cotton/Tencel Blend (formerly Dream
Orient)
-
Hobbs Tuscany 80/20 Cotton/Wool Blend
-
Hobbs Heirloom Black 80/20 Cotton/Poly
Have you already purchased your batting? That's fine too --
just check with me to confirm that your batting is large enough and
that it's suitable for long arm quilting.
Shipping
Long distance customers can ship their quilt tops and backing to me
using the carrier of their choice. I ship completed quilts back
to clients via UPS. My discounted business rates with UPS are cheaper
than what the U.S. Post Office charges, yet UPS includes twice as much
insurance at no additional cost -- and their reliability and tracking
capabilities are superior to ensure that your quilt arrives safely on
your doorstep. The actual return shipping cost will be added to
your final invoice.
Options for Local Quilt Drop-Off & Pickup
Drop-offs and pickups are BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. Local customers who wish to meet with me in person can
schedule a drop off at my home studio in the Ballantyne area of
Charlotte, NC.
North Carolina Sales Tax
Per state law, North Carolina/Mecklenburg County sales tax,
currently 7.25%, applies to all orders that are dropped off and/or picked
up locally. Sales tax is not added to orders that are
both shipped to my studio from outside North Carolina AND shipped
back to an out-of-state address. If I am shipping your quilt back to
an address within North Carolina but outside of Mecklenburg County, the tax rate of your home county will
be applied to your order.

Other FAQs:
-
Backing fabric should be square (even, parallel edges and 90 degree corners) and should extend at least 5-6" beyond the edges of your quilt top on
all four sides. Example: a 60" x 80" quilt needs backing that measures at
least 72" x 92". If your backing is larger than my minimum and needs to be straightened/squared, I will do that for you at no additional charge, but keep in mind that the minimum size is what your backing needs to measure after the ends are straightened and squared. Bigger is better and any additional backing fabric will be returned to you. I can seam your backing fabric for you for an
additional fee.
-
If you are shipping your
quilt to me, it should be pressed and loosely folded in a large enough box to ensure that your quilt does
not arrive crumpled and deeply creased. Please do not cram
it into the tiniest little box you can find...
-
Quilts With "Personality": Ideally, every quilt top would be square, all seams would be completely sewn with no holes, and every quilt border would lay flat as a pancake. However, there are no quilt police allowed in my
studio and there is no such thing as a perfect quilt top! If your quilt has problems
that you don't know how to fix, let's figure it out together.
I LOVE helping beginners finish quilts they can be proud
of!
-
Jobs are scheduled for quilting in the order
received. Your quilt will be added to my schedule as soon as I receive your
quilt top, backing, and batting (if using your own). Lead times get longer as we approach the
holidays, graduation season, etc. so if you are making a special gift with a deadline, please get
those to me as early as possible! 😉.
-
Payment is due in full at
the time you pick up your quilt, or prior to my shipping it back to you. I do not require an advance deposit. I accept
cash, personal checks, or Zelle, but I do not accept credit or debit cards, PayPal or Venmo.
