How To Calculate Estimate Long Arm Price for your Quilt Top


We calculate the cost and time-frame of our quilting, and give you a "guestimate"  when we receive your quilt top.

Example for cost:   Length in inches x width in inches x .020 (overall pano)  = $ cost of quilt.   

We also charge $1.50 per bobbin for your quilting projet.  
Remember that as we quilt, your top shrinks in size because of the stithing.  Usually it is a good "guestimate" to calculate the length multiplied by width multiplied by: 

.020 for overall Pano        or .025 for overall Pano with border           or .030 for custom stitching

After the quilt is finished, it will shrink, then we measure it for the final cost.  In most cases, the difference calculated before quilting and after quilting, is lower.  But don't forget to add the bobbin price, and the finished cost usually is around the original first measurement cost.

EXAMPLE ESTIMATE:
for Pano or Edge-to-Edge (E2E):    65" wide X  95" length X .020  =  $123.50

  Calculating Quilt Pricing...


- Overall Design:
   Quilt Length (inches) X Quilt Width (inches) X .020 = _______

- Overall design with Boarder:
   Quilt Length (inches) X Quilt Width (inches) X .025 = _______

- Custom  Quilting:  
   Quilt Length (inches) X Quilt Width (inches) X .030+ = _______
Depending on the details of the custom quilting project, .030 + will be determined, per quilting project.
