Quilt Size/Price Calculation

The cost of machine quilting is based on the area of the quilt top in square feet. Use the following steps to calculate the area of your quilt:

  • Measure the length and width of your quilt top in inches.
  • Multiply the length by the width.
  • Divide that figure by 144 to get square feet.

If you need more information about our pricing or would like an estimate for your quilt, please contact us.

Quilt Preparation

Before we can work on your quilt, it needs to be made "machine ready". The checklist below specifies exactly what we require. If you need any advice or assistance, please contact us.

  • Backing and wadding should be cut 6" to 8" longer and wider than the quilt top.
  • All edges of the wadding and backing should be trimmed straight and squared.
  • Quilt top and backing should be ironed with seams pressed flat.
  • Secure all seams that run to the edge of the quilt to prevent them from pulling apart.
  • Trim all loose threads, dark threads on the back may show through light coloured patches in your quilt.
  • Do not pin or baste your layers together.
  • Indicate the head of the quilt top and backing if applicable.

We can provide all or part of this preparation service for a reasonable hourly fee.
