..:: Pricing ::..

My Guarantee

At the time I give an estimate, I guarantee my price will not be any higher....no matter what may come up. For most of my custom quilts, I'll estimate my price at $15 per hour, plus materials. There will be no bad surprises - if it takes less time than I anticipate, you might see a smaller bill, but if it takes longer time than I estimate, well, it's your gain - the price will remain the same.

More Info

Custom Quilts

Call or email to discuss your needs. Combo-quilts are great - include both shirts and photos. What a great way to commemorate a vacation, a family reunion, or school experience!

Additional Charges

Different sized blocks (shirts or photos) – add $25 (It takes a good bit of extra time calculating the lay-out of the quilt.)

Additional fabric added to the photos or shirts to make them larger and highlight them (perhaps as the center of a log cabin/courthouse stairs block or as the center of a star block) – add $3 - $5 per block to cover additional labor and fabric needs (dependent upon what pattern is chosen).

Hand-applied binding on one side: additional 30 cents per linear inch. (This is very labor-intensive).

Specialized long-arm machine quilting: (for instance, hatching or cross-hatching.) Price varies; call for an estimate.

Shirts already cut – add $2 per shirt.

Photo editing and/or scanning: Add $3 per photo.

All shipping and taxes are the responsibility of the purchaser.

Long-Arm Quilting

Minimum charge:
Quilts under 1000 square inches: $30
Quilts over 1000 square inches: $40

Rates

$0.0145 cents per square inch on simple pantographs and all-over freehand designs;

0.022 cents per square inch for complex pantos and denser freehand all-over designs;

starting at 0.0275 cents per square inch on partial all-over designs with custom elements;

and custom throughout, starting at 0.035 cents per square inch.

Additional Charges:

   Rush Order: 1.5 times the regular pricing - back in one to two weeks, sometimes earlier!

   Special Handling Fee: If quilt backs are not at least 5" longer and wider than the quilt top, a special handling fee of $10 will be added.

Thread Charge:
$1 per large bobbin used

$2 per bobbin for variegated or specialty threads (HQ has a large bobbin - over twice that of my Bernina sewing machine)

Quilt Turn: $10
(This is for specialized borders and requires completely removing the quilt from the frame, turning it 90°, and then applying the custom border to the other 2 sides of the quilt.)

Thread Change: $10 (more than one color of thread over the front of the quilt)

Iron top or back; piece back : $5 each

Photo Memory Quilts

Photos provided in electronic format, ready for printing (no editing necessary): $15 per photo or more, considering photo setting.

Price includes labor, fabric treatment, fabric printing, my choice of backing, polyester batting, sashing and borders, hanging sleve, customized label, machine binding, and long-arm machine quilting.

For fancier settings, please note additional charges listed below.

Shirt Quilts

I'll take your tee-shirts and/or sweat shirts and design a quilt made especially for you.

(Please let me do the cutting of the shirts as I have the equipment to cut them uniformly. Knits are difficult to cut without properly stabilizing the fabric first.)

No Sashing

Total cost: $13 per UNCUT shirt block (all blocks the same size).

Price includes labor, stabilizer, my choice of backing, batting, machine binding, customized label, and freehand long-arm machine quilting.

Sashing and Border

Total cost: $18 per UNCUT shirt block (all blocks the same size).

Price includes labor, stabilizer, my choice of backing, batting, sashing and borders, machine binding, customized label, and freehand meander long-arm machine quilting. Select a specialty backing (lfor instance, icensed football print, add cost of fabric).
