New To Longarm Quilting?

Use this simple 5 step process to help you get comfortable with the decisions you need to make.

Step 1: Choose your quilting style

Would you like an edge-to-edge design or something custom?

Step 2: Select a Quilting Design

Take a look at the available designs here to get an idea of the styles I offer. If you're looking for something different, I'm happy to help source the right design. You’re also welcome to browse the following design sites. If you find a pantograph I don’t currently own, I’ll gladly split the cost with you to purchase it for your quilt. The Panto Shop, Urban ElementzIntelligent Quilting, Longarm League

Search using terms like “pantograph” or “edge-to-edge (E2E)” to find suitable options.​

Step 3: Thread Color Preferences 

My default approach is to match or blend thread color with the lighter areas of your quilt. But this is your quilt—if you have a color preference, just let me know.​

Step 4: Batting Options

Do you already have batting, or would you like to purchase some from me? You can find details on the types of batting I carry and current prices on the Rates page.​

Step 5: Backing Preparation

​To ensure the best quilting results, please make sure your quilt backing is at least 8" wider and 8" longer than your quilt top. This allows a minimum of 4" margin on each side for proper loading on the frame. The backing can be larger, but not smaller.​

Once you've reviewed the steps and made your selections, go ahead and click the Book a Quilt button below to get started.

 

I look forward to working on your beautiful project!
