What is longarm machine quilting?
A longarm machine is a large sewing machine on wheels that is used to sew together the quilt top, the
batting, and the backing fabric into a quilt.  In this process, the three pieces are loaded separately
onto rollers that keep them straight and flat for quilting.  I use a Nolting PRO 24
; a professional,
stitch-regulated, quilting machine, with the Intelliquilter IQ computerized system to make your quilt
top into a finished quilt.  Services range from simple all-over quilting to complex custom patterns
placed carefully onto your top to mimic the hand quilting of years ago.  Just recently I have begun a
rental service of my machines; you can check
here for more details.  Battings are available for your
convenience at reasonable pricing, and I can even bind your quilt for you for an additional fee.  I offer
computer generated fabric labels for documenting your quilt, too - an important last step that I really
encourage, to keep details about the quilt and quilt maker known for future generations.  Check out my
Label page for ideas.
How much will my quilt top cost to get quilted?
Pricing for my quilting starts at $35, but is determined by the size of the quilt and the type of quilting
desired.

Size of the quilt:
Simply measure your quilt top in inches and multiply the length times the width to get the number of
square inches.

Length x Width = Square Inches
