How it Works
1. Bring Us Your Quilt
We'll measure your quilt, look over the top and backing, and talk with you about the look you want for the finished quilt.
Before bringing your quilt in:
-
Your quilt top and backing should be square, pressed and clean, with loose threads trimmed and free of animal hair.
-
If you opt to bring your own batting, it should be at least 8" longer and 8" wider than the quilt top. For example, a 50' x 50" quilt top requires backing at least 58" x 58".
-
If your backing is pieced, we recommend 1/2' seams pressed open. Horizontal seam are preferred whenever possible. A vertical seam can cause one areas of the quilt to build up thicker as the quilt is advaced on the roller, which can affect the consitency and quality of the quilting stitches.
-
If your quilt has a border made from small pieces, such as piano keys, small blocks (2x2) or edges cut on the bias, stay-stitch approximately 1/8" around the outside edge to help keep everything secure.
-
Please make sure there are no buttons, sequins or other embellishments that could deflect the needle or damage the machine. These will need to be removed before quilting.
Need backing?
Ready Set Quilt carries a wide selection of 108" and 118" wideback fabrics
as well as Cuddle, so we can help you find a backing if needed.
2. Audition Your Quilting Design
We'll photograph your quilt and audition serveral quilting designs by overlaying them on the photo. this gives you a general idea of how different designs may look on your quilt before quilting begins. We'll email the options to you so you can choose your favorite, adjust the scale, or ask us to audition additional designs.
3. We Quilt Your Quilt
-
You've put a lot of time, care and creativity into making your quilt top. We believe the quilting deserves the same level of care.
-
Your quilt will be quilted on an INNOVA Longarm, chosen for its precision, stitch quality and ability to reproduce the fine details and crisp points found in today's quilting designs.
-
Standard edge-to edge quilting includes thread and one layer of 80/20 batting at no additonal charge.
-
When quilting is complete, we can trim the quilt to within approximately 1/4" of the quilt top at no additonal charge. This is a trim only; we do not square the quilt. Any usable fabric remaining from your quilt, backing or fabric purchased for your project will be returned to you with your completed quilt.
Edge to Edge Quilting & Pricing
Beautiful Quilting with Straightforward Pricing
Our standard edge-to-edge quilting is 2.2 cents per square inch and includes one layer of 80/20 batting and thread, whether you use our batting or provide your own. We offer batting for your convenience and we prefer to use it whenever possible. If you choose to provide your own batting, it must be suitable for longarm quilting and must not contain adhesives or glue, as these can build up on the needle and potentially damage the quilting machine.
To estimate your quilting cost:
Quilt length x quilt width x $0.022
Example: A 60' x 70" quilt = 4,200 square inches x $0.022 = $92.40 plus tax
Minimum quilting charge: For smaller quilts where the square inch calculation is less than $50, a $50 minimum quilting charge applies. Backing fabric, additional batting and any other additional materials or services are separate and are not included in the minimum.
