Square Inch Price
I charge 2.5 cents per square inch for all designs.
My minimum quilting charge is $50. This means that a small quilt or table runner's square inch price will be rounded up to the $50 minimum.
Batting
I use and stock Hobbs batting in 80/20 cotton/poly blend and 100% cotton. If you would like something else let me know.
Batting is a separate charge and is NOT included in the square inch price.
I charge for batting by the linear inch from rolls of batting except in the case of special orders. I will use only what is needed for your quilt (smallest side + a 5" margin) and charge per inch.
Thread
I use Glide thread. I don't charge any extra fees for thread; it's included in your square inch price.
I generally default to white thread but will occasionally use a bold color for some contrast. But this is YOUR quilt! Let me know if you have a preference on thread color.
Shipping
Shipping your top and backing to me: I live in Rural Southwest Missouri, USA, and would be happy to receive your top and backing by mail. I'd recommend sending your materials enclosed in some kind of sack or bag to protect against possible moisture and dust in transit and then placed in a hard-sided cardboard box. Make sure the box is securely taped and labeled clearly.
Return shipping: I will send your quilt back to you in the manner described above via USPS Priority mail (using flat rate when possible/economical). Priority mail comes with $50 of insurance and a tracking number but please indicate on your intake form if you would like me to buy any additional insurance on your behalf. It's a great idea to insure your valuables against loss or damage while with the Postal Service, but I don't require it.
