Machine quilting Services and Pricing

The Price is subject to the size of your individual quilt and the style of quilting chosen.

  • The rates below include one matching thread colour and are based upon you supplying the wadding and backing.

The quilting rates below are based on a square foot.
(To calculate the square footage – multiply width by length for total square inches. Divide Total square inches by 144 to give Total      square feet.)
 
Edge to Edge Continuous Quilting   from $4.50 sq ft
Your choice of pattern is edge to edge

Mail Order

If you send a photograph of your quilt and include the measurements, I can give you some choices as to quilting and approximate costs and then confirm the final quote on receipt of the quilt.

  • If you are unable to collect your finished quilt in person it will be returned by Australia Post.
  • Postage & packing charges are at cost.
  • It is recommended that it be returned to you by parcel post with tracking and insurance. Please indicate value of insurance required.
By referring to the formula you can calculate a rough estimate of costs for yourself. However keep in mind that this is an estimate only and the final cost may depend upon some of the following factors:-
  • My having to iron seams flat, square up backing &/or trim loose threads from the front & back of the top in preparation for quilting $35-00. (I will include this in a mail order quote & then waive if not required when quilt is received.)
  • Thread colour change fee for the use of more than one colour of thread $5.00
  • Specialty threads eg Metallic and variegated threads charged according to selection
  • Additional ‘picture frame’ borders $25.00
  • Piecing of backing &/or wadding $35.00/hr (minimum charge $35.00)
  • Binding of quilt – $6.60/m for me to make and attach binding for you to hand stitch.
