30 cents a linear inch to make a binding. If you don't have the binding made and want us to make it for you. You must supply us with at least a half yard of the fabric you want for the binding. We cut our bindings 2.5 inches. We will send back with the quilt any fabric not used. ($30.00 minimum)
Additional Fees
$20.00 for all quilts needing to be washed before quilting. Please make sure all quilts are free of odors, stains and animal hair.
$15.00 for preparing the backing. $25.00 for preparing backings for Queen and King size quilts. If you only send the fabric and have not prepared it to go on the machine we will sew it together and iron for quilting. This prep fee is also charged if your quilt is extremely wrinkled and needs to be pressed before being placed on the machine or has alot of threads hanging that need to be cut off before quilting.
Preparing a quilt for being Quilted
Make sure all quilt tops are clean. This means they should be free of all odors and stains.
Make sure all hanging threads are cut off. Quilt top and back need to be free of all threads as they could bunch up and have an effect on the needle going through the fabric. Any threads hanging on the back could show through the quilt once it is quilted ruining the look of the quilt.
Make sure the backing is at least 8 inches bigger in length and width from the top of the quilt. This is needed for mounting it to the machine and having enough backing when the top is quilted on and stretched out correctly. If backing needs to be sewn together we will do it for a fee. See above.
Mark Top of the Front and Back of Quilt with a safety pin so we know which way you want the quilt laid out.
Make sure quilt is put together properly. There can be no loose seams, ragged edges, or quilt tops that are out of shape with lots of bubbles and uneven borders. If we receive a quilt that we feel we cannot quilt to our standards we will decline doing it and return it to you at your cost.
