The going price around here, So. Kansas, is $100.00 for a double bed, with her furnishing thread and batting. I didn't think that was a bad price, and I was most pleased with her work.
I am not into machine quilting, altho I think it is beautiful but just don't have the time nor the patience for it. Hand Quilting is beautiful, but I am more inclined to rationalize myself out of that also, and have her do it on the machine. Good luck! [email protected] |
I was just reading all your posting on having them quilted. The prices differ in so many states. In Maine it's about a penny & a half an inch. I find it well worth it.
When you think about how much work you put into them and the expense of the fabric. It lasts so much longer as washing them really takes a toll. |
I just finished piecing my quilt top, and thought I would try this quilting
technique. I'll cut the batting into thirds lengthwise. Allowing 4" wider and 4" longer than the quilt top. Quilting the center first, then the two outsides. With this method I’ll only have bulk of 1/3 of the batting at a time. The remaining two sides of the quilt top and backing will roll up without the bulk of the batting. When the center is all quilted, I’ll butt the two batting pieces together with a whip stitch or machine stitch. Working from the left so the throat of the machine is not stuffed. |
Super idea quiltintime. I think several of the girls do them in halves to make it easier too.

This is the reason I decided to use part of my tax refund to get my Juki and Grace Pro quilt frame... I'm one of those people who lives close the paycheck and having the funds to have someone else quilt it for me, would be difficult to make happen.

My most recent quilt top was machine quilted on a longarm for a Christmas gift. I am absolute thrilled with the workmanship. This queen- sized quilt cost $88 and the quilter paid the return shipping.
I've had quilts done locally and was not happy. I am really critical and when paying good money, I expect good quilting. She did an excellent job and I highly recommend her. She has a large, large selection of patterns from which to choose. PM me and I'll provide the infor. Suzanne |
I pay any where from $50.00 to $85.00 to have one quilted
|
Do you have any local QS that will "rent" their long arm machines??
