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 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 .25/inch. Or, you can choose a "half" binding at .10/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. We ask for one yard of uncut fabric to construct the binding.
We have a standard $5 thread and new needle charge. Specialty threads are quoted per job.
Shipping and insurance, for Eastern time zone, is $12 for the first quilt in the box and $7 for each additional quilt in the same box. It is $17 plus $7 for each additional quilt in all other time zones.
The pricing on this page is for your use to estimate the costs of having your top quilted. Please remember, you must have time reserved BEFORE you ship your quilt.
