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 quilting designs, including stippling at no extra cost. 

Also available, for hand quilters or those of you who choose to do your own quilting at home, is a machine basting service, priced from $35 to $85, depending on the size of the quilt,
