Quilting labor costs are based on the top's square inches. Multiply the top's width by the top's length for square inches. Multiply the square inches of your top times the kind of quilting your top needs for the labor cost.

Batting and Backing needs to be a minimum of 8" wider and 8" longer than your top. If, for example, your top is 90 x 108, you need batting and backing that is 98 x 116. Note: when we mount a quilt top and backing, we need the backing to be 4" wider on the left and right sides of the top, 1" larger at the head of the top and 7" longer than the bottom of the top.
Customers may supply their own matching backing, or choose a wide backing from us. If a wide backing purchase is part of a quilting order, we wash and press the backing at no cost. See our Backings Pages for pricing.
We do not accept customer battings. We carry rolls of Hobb's and Dream Company Battings. We cut only the amount of batting each top needs. Our selections from Hobb's are: PolyDown, 80/20 blends in natural, bleached and black, and 100% cotton. Our selection from the Dream Company are: 100% cotton in select and deluxe weights, poly puff, and 100% wool. We also carry silk batting.
We offer a complete binding service: we will prepare and attach binding to the front of the quilt by machine, from fabric you provide, and hand finish it to the back of the quilt, for .35/inch. Or, you can choose a "half" binding at .15/inch. We prepare and attach the binding to your quilt, and you complete the hand work. To figure this cost, multiply the cost of the service you want, times the total inches of the four sides of your top.
