Batting

We use 2 widths of Quilters Dream Select, natural cotton batting, approximately 90 inches and 120 inches wide. The estimator automatically selects the appropriate width based on the dimensions of your quilt.

We charge by the linear inch for batting. For example, if your quilt is 60 inches by 70 inches the estimator would select the 90 inch wide batting and charge you for 64 inches. The extra 4 inches is an amount we need to extend past the edges of your quilt for fastening.

Binding

We make a 2 color binding which consists of a wrap portion which wraps from the back to the front of the quilt, covering the edge. The piping goes on the top at the junction of the wrap and the top, about 1/2" in from the edge of the quilt and provides a decorative line and, more importantly, a place to hide the stitch line. The binding is done with machine stitching only. Folks usually chose a piping color that contrasts with the wrap color and the border of the quilt.

The suggested amount of binding fabric assumes you will supply normal 44" wide fabric in the amount suggested. Often there is enough excess back fabric to make the wrap portion if you've made your back at least 5" larger than the top on all sides.

What could make my actual cost different than this estimate?

We charge by the time it takes to do your quilt. We know from experience that the time is directly related to the size of your quilt, but every quilt is different and the time will vary somewhat for quilts of the same size. Our experience also shows that the estimator will be very close to your final cost.

You might request additional services like trimming or piecing of your back. These costs are in addition to the estimate above. If your quilt requires 2 directional centering on the back this will require more time. We cannot guarantee centering results for 2 direction centering.

Return shipping and insurance are not included in the estimate. We don't charge a handling fee, only the actual costs we incur. It should cost about as much to return it to you as you paid to ship it to us. Please mention if you want the quilt insured and, if so, for how much.

If you live in, or pick up your quilt in Pennsylvania we have to add sales tax.
