MACHINE QUILTING
LET US DO THE HARD PART
Do you love to create quilt tops but find quilting on your home machine too difficult? Consider having us do your quilting on our state of the art long arm quilter - a computerized Statler Stitcher built on a Gammill Optimum body. This system enables us to offer you over 400 all-over and block designs, including stippling and meandering at no extra cost. The Statler Stitcher sews block and border designs quickly and accurately. Custom designs are available.
Also available is a machine basting service, at $ .75 per square foot, for hand quilters or those of you who choose to do your own quilting at home.

PRICES
We carry Warm and Natural cotton batting as well as a lovely Fairfield cotton/poly blend (60/40). Batting prices are calculated by the inch - 90" wide - $ .22 per inch, 124" wide - $ .28 per inch.
Our quilting prices are calculated by the square foot. To determine how many square feet are in your quilt top, measure the length and the width (in inches) - multiply these two numbers and divide the answer by 144.
