Longarm Quilting Pricing Information
Autumn 2017
- Maximum width my longarm quilting frame can accommodate: 108” (274 cm) - note: this is the maximum size of the backing!
- The pricing for each quilt will be determined by the size of the quilt and the complexity of the quilting.
- Rates are per square inch. To determine square inches, measure the length and width of your quilt top, then multiply these numbers. For example, in a quilt that is 60” x 80”, there are 4,800 square inches.
- There is a $50 minimum charge to load any quilt/project, regardless of size.
- Each quilting engagement will include a quote, where we discuss and agree on the quilting plan to be completed. These are general guidelines. The chart below is an example of how a 60” x 80” quilting plan would be priced.

- Your quilt is returned to you untrimmed, unless you request trimming. Trimming is an additional charge ($30).
- Generally, I will match the top thread colour to the bobbin thread colour.
- During intake, I will ask you the story of your quilt … knowing why you’ve made this quilt, how it will be used, who it is for. Knowing your quilt story may help making decisions about the quilting plan.
- I will also ask if you are comfortable with me posting photos of your quilt on my social media feeds.
- If your quilt is entered into any show or competition, please credit me as the longarm quilter. You can use #quiltingbiker on Instagram or Facebook @QuiltingBiker to credit my work on social media.
