Quilt Prep & Prices
Meet Vickie
 

    Price is determined by the size of your top and the style of quilting you choose.

    Price is calculated: length X width X price per sq. inch(meander, panto, custom, heirloom).

    I have lots of pantographs  to choose from. Most of my patterns are purchased from www.quiltscomplete.com . 

   

Quilting Preparation

  • Borders should lie flat. Fullness may not always be able to quilted out. Make sure you sew your borders on correctly. If you are unsure –contact me for information.
  • Press the quilt top and the back. Clip threads, especially dark threads which will show on a light top.
  • Do NOT baste or pin the quilt layers together.
  • Backing should be 8” longer and wider than the top after the back has been squared up.
  • Batting should be 6” longer and wider than the top.
                         

The battings I have are:

    • Hobbs 80/20- 80% cotton and 20% poly-excellent for machine quilting-$0.2 linear inch.
    • Warm & Natural -100% cotton-$0.2 linear inch
    • Warm & White –100% cotton-$0.2 linear inch
