Quilting
The biggest question, right? Like many long arm quilters, I’ve used a simple (ha) metric system with the length times the width times the type of quilting… but found there was time spent on doing things that didn’t fit into that equation.
- Like oops, these borders are sort of wonky
- My goodness this quilt seems to be off
- Correcting the backing that needs to be squared
- Realizing design running time can be different depending on scale and intensity of pattern
- Custom quilts that require multiple thread changes, dropping belts to do freehand fill
Hopefully you’re understanding my thought pattern here. Solution? I have an hourly rate (like a plumber, but not that much!) hourly charge is $40.00. At the end of the day, its very close to that metric system but a lot less math!
Binding
- Attach your prepared binding $.10 per inch
- Cut, sew and attach binding to quilt $.15 per inch (with fabric you provide)
- Cut, sew, attach and hand stitch to back of quilt $.25 per inch
Extra
Seam backing $10.00 per seam, $20.00 per seam if pattern needs to be matched or if its Minkie.
