Long Arm Quilting

I'd love to quilt for you! 

My machine is a computerized Q'nique 19 with a queen size frame, meaning I can put up to 84" of fabric on it.
Since backings need to be 4" larger on each side, the largest quilt top I can accommodate is 76" wide.
I can quilt anything smaller than that, but there is a minimum fee of $25. If your quilt is smaller than 36" square it will be a flat fee of $25, plus batting if needed and shipping.

Start with choosing a pantograph - if you're unsure or want help picking, I'm always happy to make suggestions. 
Fill out this form - expect a return email with an estimate within two business days. 
Whimsy Quilting is will be on sale for 1.2 cents per inch for the first 50 quilts sent in for it (limit 3 per person). The form for that is found here.


Prepare your quilt (see below) and send it over! 

How much does it cost?

  • Edge-to-edge quilting is $.02 per square inch.
  • For example, for a quilt top that measures 50" x 60" will be $60 plus sales tax (3000x.02 = 60). 
  • The customer is responsible for shipping costs.
  • There is an additional charge for high density quilting, up to an additional $.01 per square inch, based on the design.
  • There is batting available for purchase.
  • I will send an estimate with cost.
  • Price, colour, and pantone will be agreed upon before work begins.
  • Price is an estimate but likely will not change unless the quilt is a different size, shipping is different than quoted, or the design/batting is changed last minute.
  • USPS is typically used for return shipping as it is the most cost effective.
  • Shipping Insurance will be included based on the cost you provide on the intake form.

How long will it take?

  • Current turn-around time is one week from the date your quilt arrives, as long as all necessary information has been discussed for quilting. 

  • If you are sending multiple quilts, please allow for an additional day per quilt (if you send five quilts, plan one week + 5 days). 
  • Updates will be sent when the quilt has arrived, been loaded, and is finished!

How do I prepare my quilt?

  • Press all seams flat
  • Trim excess threads  
  • Repair any holes (seams, fabric, or blocks)
  • Remove all pins from the fabric (exception being a note pinned for top on directional quilts/backings)
  • Press backing flat
  • Be sure that backing and batting are at least 4" larger than the quilt top on each side!
  • Send all layers separately
  • Place your quilt into a waterproof bag before shipping!!!!
  • You may also have your batting or backing shipped directly to me from the store if that is more convenient for you (as long as backing does NOT need to be pieced)

Quilts will be shipped back once payment has been received in full.
