Edge-to-Edge Quilting

Quilting costs are calculated per square inch (psi) with a minimum fee for quilting. Thread and return domestic shipping with insurance are included in the price. International shipments will be given a credit towards the cost of return shipping.

Edge-to-Edge Quilting, also known as all over quilting, is 3.5¢ psi (with a minimum charge of $80). This is one design stitched edge to edge, from top to bottom on your quilt, with no thread changes. This includes the cost of a single thread choice, as well as return domestic shipping with insurance via USPS Priority mail in the US. King sized quilts (quilts with a width measurement of 90″ or greater) will have an additional $50 quilting fee.

Rush Quilting is an additional $75 and only available for edge-to-edge quilting. Rush quilts are accepted as the schedule allows and not eligible for any discounts.

Custom Quilting

Custom/Heirloom Quilting is $0.06-$0.12 psi (with a minimum charge of $200) depending on the complexity of the quilting. This can include different stitch patterns in borders or blocks, or a customized quilt-doodling over the entirety of the top. You could let me know exactly what you want, give me a general idea or let me go wild and be surprised when it arrives back home. Cost will include thread and return shipping with insurance via USPS Priority mail in the US. Quilts with a separate design in the border and center of the quilt are typically $0.06 psi with truly custom designs starting at $0.08 psi. Extensive stitching in the ditch runs on the higher end of the price scale.

Batting

I am currently offerign Quilter’s Dream Poly Batting in mid-loft, and Quilter’s Dream Wool batting both on the roll. You are welcome to send your own batting, or I can order in any batting of your choice. I prefer to work with Warm & Company and Quilters Dream Cotton battings, but i’m happy to order in what you need if they are brands other than these. Loft makes a difference in how defined the quilting is on a top. Loftier battings, like most polyester, poly-cotton blends and wool give your quilt top “poof” and really show of the quilting, whereas cotton battings are a little more subtle. For show quilts I recommend the Quilter’s Dream Poly as it shows the quilting to it’s best advantage and allows the quilt to lay flat when hanging. Wool is a wonderful option for heirloom quilts. Both battings can be washed and dried at home. I am happy to discuss options!

Thread

All machine quilting is done with So Fine by Superior Threads. So Fine is a #50 filament polyester that blends beautifully into quilt tops, and is made to be used on longarm machines. In almost all cases I match the bobbin thread to the top thread. I have a rainbow of colors on hand, but am always happy to order in another color should I not have it on hand. Thread color changes are only offered on custom quilting jobs. There are no thread or bobbin charges at Sometimes Crafter Quilting. All thread costs are part of the quilting estimate.

Interested in a quilting estimate? Follow the link to the Quilting Request page to get more information on what I need from you, or send an email to [email protected]. After emailing, we will discuss all of your preferences and the costs. Custom quilting designs will have a mock-up done for approval after the quilt is received and before work begins. Don’t forget to prep your top and backing before sending! I will email you when your quilt has arrived, and again when I’ve finished quilting it, with full payment due before return shipping. Quilts are quilted in the order they are received in the studio.

I noticed my feed was lacking vibrant color of lat I noticed my feed was lacking vibrant color of late, with the thick coating of snow in my recent photos, so today is a perfect day to share @mne_textiles colorful Lonestar quilt I quilted for her recently. It was such a lovely punch of color for this drab time of year, and it was so well done for all those bias edges and Y-seams. She did an amazing job on this! This was quilted with the pattern Celtic Sea and we used Poly Select batting with a light blue thread.  #sometimescrafterlongarmquilting #longarmquilting #gammillquilting #gammillstatlerstitcher #quiltersdreambatting
Day 4 - lots of ice! The ground looks like an ice Day 4 - lots of ice! The ground looks like an ice rink and the forest is full of breaking tree limbs and falling ice and snow. Its warming up pretty quickly, which is fine by me. I enjoyed the snow, but now I'm done.  #sometimescrafterfarm #pnw
Just so much snow! It's currently about 30 and rai Just so much snow! It's currently about 30 and raining, so we get to end with a nice coating of ice on 12"+ snow. Check out @elementaladventuring to see our buried cars. You can only see Aaron's car handles he has so much snow on and around his car. #sometimescrafterstudio

Daisy doesn't know what to think about the snow. S Daisy doesn't know what to think about the snow. She was happy to see us this morning and came right over and started doing her little goose talk, so I picked her up and she was happy. She started honking her alarm when we came back inside. She did not want us leaving her out there. The other birds are all hiding out in the barn, as they usually do. None of them care for snow days. They usually come out and wander around a bit, but we make sure their food and water is right next to the barn so they can hop out and eat, and hop right back in. While they are all hardy enough for snow, they do have to watch their feet as they can be prone to frostbite if they get too cold. #sometimescrafterfarm #charlotteandtheducklings #chinesegoose
