RATES
Square Inch Price 2¢
We charge 2 cents per square inch for all designs.
Example - If a quilt top is:
60 inches x 80 inches.
60 x 80 = 4800 sq. in. x .02¢ = $96.00
*Our minimum quilting charge is $50.
This means that a small quilt or table runner's square inch price will be rounded up to the $50 minimum.
​
Backing $15.00
We charge $15.00 per seam to sew your backing together.
​
Trimming $15.00
To clean up and trim your quilt a $15.00 charge is added and we send the trimmed material and batting to you.

Batting
We use and stock our favorite Quilters Dream batting in the 80/20 cotton/poly blend, 100% cotton, and in the 100% poly. If you wish to have another type of batting, such as wool or bamboo please let us know in advance.
​
Batting is a separate charge and is NOT included in the square inch price.
We charge for batting by the linear inch from queen rolls of batting except in the case of special orders. We will use only what is needed for your quilt (smallest side + a 5" margin) and charge per inch.
For example, if you have a 60" x 80" quilt, We would cut 65" of the batting of your choice.
65" of 100% cotton deluxe loft @ $0.43/in = $27.95
65" of 80/20 cotton/poly blend @ $0.40/in = $21.45
Wool, black poly, or bamboo is special order

We stock Omni (#60 weight) We charge $7.00 for thread use.Our personal style attempts to match or blend thread color with the lighter areas of your quilt. But this is YOUR quilt! Let us know if you have a preference on thread color.
Shipping
Shipping your top and backing to us: We live in California, USA, and would be happy to receive your top and backing by mail. We recommend sending your materials enclosed in some kind of sack or bag to protect against possible moisture in transit and then placed in a hard-sided cardboard box. Make sure the box is securely taped and labeled clearly.
Return shipping: We will send your quilt back to you in the manner described above via USPS Priority mail (using flat rate when possible/economical). Priority mail comes with $50 of insurance and a tracking number but please indicate on your intake form if you would like me to buy any additional insurance on your behalf. It's a great idea to insure your valuables against loss or damage while with the Postal Service, but We don't require it.
Photography
We are not a professional photographers but we do our best to take "nice" photos with my "good" camera! Upon completion of the quilting, we will take photos of your quilt in our well-lit studio and then text/email you those images to use however you would like. I'd just ask that you credit us for the photo and/or quilting if posting publicly. This extra service is included in your square inch price.
Other Costs

Batting, is not subject to sales tax if outside the State of California. Otherwise yes we have to charge sales tax on batting.
