While many of us enjoy designing and piecing a quilt top, the thought of wrestling your quilt through a
home sewing machine can stop you cold. So the quilt tops start stacking up, waiting to be finished.
Maybe you are a hand quilter, but your back and knees can't take basting a quilt by hand.
Quilting Design Threads will transform your unfinished quilt tops into finished works of art. We also
can take the physical burden of basting away, leaving you to do what you love, hand quilting. Basting
stitches will be approximately 4-5" apart, to secure your quilt layers for you to quilt.
All of this is done with quality and care in my smoke free/pet free studio.

Large Meander Allover: Features a large all over meandering or other simple freehand design. Space
between quilting is medium, three-four inches. For T-Shirt quilting only a large meander is used to
avoid bulky intersections, or a simple star or X in the square.
Pantograph Patterns: Edge to edge quilting using a detailed, interlocking pantograph pattern. Please
see my Pantogram page for a selection some of my pantograms available. If you don’t see one that
you want, let me know the name of the designer and panto so that I may purchase it as part of your
quilt order.
Custom: Many traditional quilting designs including stitch in the ditch (SID), cross hatching, setting a
design on each block, some small stippling, outlining of motifs, more detailed freehand designs, and
separate border treatments.

Backing
If you wish to supply the backing fabric for your quilt, please purchase 100% cotton premium quilting fabric or
muslin. These are available from fabric shops online or at your local quilt shop. Wide width fabrics are
preferred (90" to 120" widths) so there will be no seam lines. If you wish to purchase narrower width fabrics,
please let me instruct you on how best to piece it. There will be an additional charge of $25.00 per hour for
pre-washing, piecing, pressing and squaring the backing fabric.
The supplied backing must be at least 6" longer and wider than the quilt top, in order to attach the backing to
the quilt frame.
Bed sheets are not recommended for the backing fabric. Please click here for "Preparation Tips for Longarm
Quilting Customers".

Thread
There will be a small charge for thread depending on the type of thread chosen and the size (in square inches)
of the quilt. This will be included on your Work Order and Estimate form. I offer a variety of colors in Signature ,
Perma-Core (Cotton poly-wrapped ), So-Fine and Bottom Line, Lava, monofilament, variegated, and other
specialty threads. If I don't have it, I can order it!
Thread charges start at $6.00 and each additional change is $3.00. Specialty threads will be a little more.

Miscellaneous Labor Charges
Please make sure your quilt top and backing are pressed well so that all seams lie flat. Clip all stray threads.
Double check to make sure the backing and quilt top are square. Any additional labor needed for pressing,
clipping, squaring, seaming and preparation of the backing material, or seam repairs will be charged at $25 per
hour.

Binding
Calculating the total linear inches is easy. For example, a 70" x 90" quilt would have 320 linear inches of edge
(70" + 70" + 90" + 90" = 320"). If you are unsure, I can help you calculate how much yardage to supply for the
binding. Most often, this would be about one yard of 100% cotton fabric.

If shipping is necessary, I use Federal Express Home, Ground or Overnight services. I strongly recommend full
insurance for the shipment.
