Rates

Quilting

Quilting rate is $0.025 per square inch. For example, a 60 x 80 inch quilt would be calculated as follows:

60 x 80 = 4800 4800 x $0.025 = $120

Thread

Thread charge is based upon quilt size.

Quit Top Size Standard Thread Specialty Thread

3500 sq inch or less $2.00 $4.00

3501-7000 sq inch $3.00 $5.00

7001-10,000 sq inch $4.00 $6.00

Over 10,000 sq inch $5.00 $7.00

I use and stock 40 wt Glide thread as a standard. If you prefer a different thread, please ask! I'd be glad to entertain other thread preferences to ensure you get the quilting you desire. Specialty threads include invisible, glow in the dark, and metallic.

Batting

To reduce shipping expense, I will purchase batting of your choice through my local quilt shop. You can choose batting in the 80/20 cotton/poly blend, 100% cotton, and bamboo. I will purchase the least amount of batting necessary and it must be at least 5 inches longer and wider than the quilt top.

Batting cost will be passed to you on your invoice with no additional markup. You may also provide your own high quality batting if you prefer.

Shipping

I would be happy to receive your top and backing by mail. I'd recommend sending your materials enclosed in some sort of plastic sack 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: I 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 $100 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 I don't require it.

Other Costs

I'm required by the state of Minnesota to collect a 7% sales tax. Sales tax does not apply if you reside outside the state of Minnesota; however, you may be subject to use tax on goods and services. Consult your local tax regulations.
