What equipment do you use?
We use a state-of-the-art NOLTING PRO long-arm quilting machine equipped with a computerized IQ Intelli-Quilcher. This advanced technology ensures complete accuracy and optimum results for every quilt.
What is long-arm quilting?
Long-arm quilting uses a specialized machine with an extended arm to quilt large projects efficiently and precisely. It allows us to create intricate quilting patterns across your entire quilt top, transforming it into a finished, professional-quality quilt.
How much does long-arm quilting cost?
Our pricing is transparent and straightforward:
-
Edge-to-edge quilting: $0.02 per square inch
-
Custom block quilting: $2.00 per block
-
Border and sashing quilting: $0.11 per linear inch
-
Premium thread: $5-$12 per quilt
-
Binding services: $0.07-$0.14 per linear inch
To estimate your project cost, multiply your quilt's length × width × $0.02 for basic edge-to-edge quilting.
How do I calculate the cost of my quilt?
For edge-to-edge quilting, multiply the length of your quilt top (in inches) by the width (in inches), then multiply that number by $0.02. For example, a 90" × 100" quilt would be: 90 × 100 = 9,000 square inches × $0.02 = $180. During your free consultation, we'll provide an exact quote based on your specific project.
