Other Services available:
Binding (Front) You supply the binding fabric and I will cut, press and create the binding and machine stitch to the front side of the quilt mitering the corners and then you can turn and hand stitch (or machine stitch) to the back. (This requires 1 yard for a small quilt and 1.5 – 2.0 yards for larger quilts – since I like the binding to be cut on the lengthwise straight of grain for maximum strength – one of my quirky things.) This also means there are fewer splices (on the bias) in the binding.
$.15/Per Running Inch
(Example: 80" x 100" quilt would be 80 + 80 + 100 + 100 = 360 x $.15 = $54.00)
Binding (Complete) You supply the binding fabric, I will create the binding and machine stitch to the front side and then hand stitch to the back. (This required 1 yard for a small quilt and 1.5 – 2.0 yards for larger quilts – since I like the binding to be cut on the lengthwise straight of grain for maximum strength – one of my quirky things.)
$.25/Per Running Inch
(Example: 80" x 100" quilt would be 80 + 80 + 100 + 100 = 360 x $.25 = $90.00)
Sleeve option If you are having binding done we can create and attach a sleeve so the quilt can be hung for display on a wall (usually the same fabric as the backing) at the same time. Customer to supply fabric and size needed for the sleeve. The sleeve will be machine attached under the top border (almost the full width) and hand sewn to the quilt backing.
$15.00 – $30.00.
Thread - We use 100% cotton thread for its durability and there is no charge for using one single color (or variegated) for the entire quilt. We also use polyester and poly cotton blends for durability, color and sheen. A specialty thread will be an additional $3.00 per thread change after the first plus the cost of the specialty thread. Due to the high cost of certain threads there will be an additional charge for thread such as Superior’s King Tut 100% Long Staple cotton. King Tut is an additional $3.00 - $13.00 depending on quilt top size in square inches which determines how much thread is actually used.
Example: 3,000 square inches and under is $3.00 additional. A quilt that is 10,000 square inches is $10.00 additional for King Tut thread.

A quilt that is 64" by 85" would only require 2 yards of batting since it is 93" wide. A quilt that has both the length and width greater than 85" would require using batting that is 122" wide.
Other types priced upon request - may need additional time to complete the order.
Wool – Priced upon request (We don’t use a lot of wool in Florida.)
Backing Fabric
120" Muslin - $9.50 per yard (Bleached or Unbleached)
108" Muslin - $8.00 per yard (Bleached or Unbleached)
If necessary we will pre-wash the muslin (or not) to match the quilt top so the shrinkage will be consistent. The size of the backing will be determined by adding 6" to the width and 6" to the length of the quilt top. Example: a 70" x 100" quilt top would require the backing to be 76" x 106" or 2 + 1/8 yards of 108" muslin = $14.88 based on $7.00 per yard.
Quilt Prep General Sewing: Mend blocks, clip threads, remove selvage from backing or enlarge quilt top and/or backing so it can be mounted on the frame. Includes re-pressing if necessary.
$5.00 - $25.00
Create backing for quilt from customer’s yardage: measure, seam(s), square, and press backing. (May also require the backing to be pre-washed depending on the quilt top so they match for shrinkage.)
$10.00 - $20.00
