Quilting Styles
 Price per
Sq. Inch
 Description
All over meandering, stipple or
loops
 Lg .017 cents -
Med .019 cents

Pantograph (edge to edge
patterns)
 Less dense .02-.023
cents
 This is the same pattern design from edge to edge without interruption.
Complex Pantograph
 Med density .024-.025
cents
Most dense .026-.03
cents
 There are 3 price ranges for Pantographs, depending on the density of the
pattern.                                                     
Custom Quilting
.035 cents and up
 *Other charges may apply for 'extra' designs. This 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

.05 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
 .08 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
 .10 cents up to One
Million dollars
 If the back is sewn on by machine it will start at .10 cents per linear inch.  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.  :-)
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.
