Longarm Quilting

I am a professional longarm quilter who loves a challenge.

A longarm quilting machine allows me to load a quilt back on one set of rollers and the pieced quilt top on another set of rollers with batting in between. I then use the sewing head to stich the 3 layers (back, batting and top) together with thread. I consider quilting an artform, so I stitch your quilt freehand without the aid of a computer.

My services range from simple edge to edge quilting to modern quilting with rulers. Rates depend on the size of the quilt, the density of the quilting and whether I use rulers.

Custom Quilting Rates

My quilting rates increased for the first time since 2015 when I started my business. These rates are effective May 1, 2023.

Edge to edge quilting is stitched from one side of the quilt to the other with no regard to the pattern of the pieced block or border design

• Stipple = $0.025 per square inch
• Other edge to edge designs = $0.035 per square inch

Custom quilting is stitched to complement the quilt block pattern. Possible quilting could include but is not limited to feathers, flowers, and echo quilting.

• Low density = $0.045 per square inch
• High density = $0.060 per square inch
• High density with rulers = $0.075

Ruler work is when I abut a ruler to needle of my long arm and make straight lines, perfect circles, and arcs that could be fish scales or roof tiles.

• Wool Applique and compass quilts are so labor intensive due to dense stipple, outlining and ruler work. These quilts can often tie up my machine for 2 weeks and they reek havoc on my back, so I must charge significantly more for these quits. As of November 2025, I will be charging $0.25/in².
