TIP:
To determine how many inches of binding you will need for your
completed quilt, add the width and the length together and multiply it
by 2. Add about 12 inches for turning corners and overlapping at the
ends.

Quilting Styles	Price per Sq. Inch	Description
All over meandering, stipple or loops	Lg 1.7 cents - Med 1.9 cents	This is an all over freehand design, with no interruption on the border.
Pantograph (edge to edge patterns)	Less dense 2.0 -2.3 cents	This is the same pattern design from edge to edge without interruption.
Complex Pantograph	Med density 2.4-2.5 cents Most dense 2.6-3 cents	There are 3 price ranges for Pantographs, depending on the density and difficulty of the pattern.
Custom Quilting	5 cents and up	*Other charges may apply for 'extra' designs. This fee applies to the Clam Shell design, due to the density/difficulty. It also includes stitch in the ditch, faux trapunto, simple freehand feathers, echo and curved quilting.
Heirloom	6.5 cents and up	Heirloom may include some freehand, fancy feathers, special use of patterns, close stipple, 'McTavishing' and/or Trapunto (stuffed quilting that requires an extra layer of batting). Removing the quilt from the frame and turning it for special border work, falls into this price range.
Adding Binding to the front only	8 cents per linear inch	I will attach the binding that you provide, to your quilt front. This will make it ready for you to turn it to the back and sew it down with your preferred method.
Wrap Binding to the Back once the binding is attached to the front	.10 cents up to ONE MILLION DOLLARS	If the back is sewn on by machine it will start at .10 cents per linear inch when done by machine. If the back is sewn by hand it will cost you big, big bucks, because I really don't have time to sew yours on by hand. :-)
