Services

Binding

Rates:

I provide five levels of binding services. All rates are calculated by the linear inch of the quilt perimeter.

Example: A quilt top is 60 inches x 80 inches. Perimeter is calculated by adding all four side: 60+80+60+80 = 280 linear inches.

Option #1 - Client provides binding

I attach client-provided binding to the front of the quilt. If requested, I will provide complimentary trimming services after the binding is attached. All trimmings are returned to the client. This is a good option for those who like to tack bindings down by hand. This service is 15 cents per linear inch.

Option #2 - I prepare the binding and return with quilt

Client provides enough fabric for me to cut 2.5” strips of fabric to make binding. Binding is neatly spooled and returned to the client with the quilted top. No trimming services are provided. This service is 10 cents per linear inch.

Option #3 - I prepare the binding and attach

This option combines the first two. Client provides enough fabric for me to cut 2.5” strips of fabric to make binding, then I attach it to the front of the quilt. If requested, I will provide complimentary trimming services after the binding is attached. All trimmings are returned to the client. This option is perfect for the client who prefers a hand tacked finish or prefers to finish it themselves. This service is 25 cents per linear inch.

Option #4 - Clients prepares binding; I attach and finish

This option is perfect for the client who enjoys making the binding, but prefers I attach it to the front and machine stitch it all the way around for a completely finished quilt to enjoy. I attach client-provided binding to the front of the quilt, then machine stitch all the way around with coordinating thread. This service is 25 cents per linear inch.

Option #5 - I prepare, attach, and finish the binding

This option is the client who prefers I make enough binding for the quilt. I then attach it to the front and machine stitch it to the back, all the way around, for a completely finished quilt to enjoy. This service is 30 cents per linear inch.

Thread

I stock Glide (#40 & #50 weight) threads. I do not charge extra for thread or bobbins. It is all included in the square inch price. 

My personal style attempts to match or blend thread color with the lighter or dominant areas of your quilt. But this is YOUR quilt! Let me know if you have a preference on thread color.

For basting services, I will use a contrasting thread color, unless you request otherwise.

As mentioned above, batting is not included in the square inch price. I'm required by the State of Wisconsin to collect a 5.5% sales tax on the quilting service portion of an invoice. Batting, shipping, and any design/pantograph fees are not subject to sales tax if outside the state of Wisconsin. However, these are taxed for Wisconsinites.
