Longarm Quilting Services
All longarm quilting is done in my studio with my Handi Quilter Amara with Pro-Stitcher. The Pro-Stitcher provides the precision of computerized quilting for that polished look.
Whether you’re looking for an edge to edge design, full custom quilting, or something in between, I’ll work with you to select the perfect design to complement your quilt. Or, you can go with quilter’s choice and I’ll make the selections for you.
Three Quilting Levels
Edge to Edge
Starting at $0.02 per square inch
Also called an all over pattern or a pantograph, a single meandering pattern coves the entire quilt in rows from edge to edge. I have a variety of edge to edge patterns to choose from, all computerized to get a precise look. This is the most economical quilting and great for many types of quilts.
Semi-Custom
Starting at $0.03 per square inch
Combines an edge to edge pattern with a custom feature like a coordinating border or outlines around applique. This is great way to add a custom touch without the full custom price. Custom Quilts are priced individually as they are all unique.
Custom
Starting at $0.05 per square inch
This can include block designs, border and sashing desings, ruler work, stitch in the ditch, outlines around applique, details in applique pieces, and more. I can also create coordinating, one of a kind patterns with Pro-Stitcher Designer. The sky is the limit with full custom quilting. I’ll work with you to create a custom design that makes your quilt come to life. Custom quilting is my favorite!

Prepare your Quilt
To ensure the best possible quality quilting and minimize your cost, please follow these guidelines:
Quilt top should be clean, pressed and trimmed down to final finished size
Trim any loose threads. Make sure all seams are secure.
Use a safety pin to mark the top of the quilt.
Remove any excess pins, buttons and other embellishments.
The quilt top must lay flat. Measure quilt top across the top, bottom, and at the center. These measurements should be the same, if not you may end up with puckers and an unsquared quilt.
Measure and press backing. It MUST be at least 8" larger than the quilt top in each direction. For example, if the quilt top is 60" x 70" the backing should measure at least 68" x 78". If you have extra backing fabric, there is no need to trim it off.
