Machine quilting of your quilt tops is carried out on site. We use a computerised long arm quilting machine. This allows us to quilt many different designs onto your quilt top. At this time only edge to edge quilting is available.

Computerised quilting allows us to scale all designs to suit your quilt top, the first row is the same as the last, and more complicated designs can be sewn easily. The quilting on your quilt can be as dense or as open as you would like, giving very different looks

Other variables to consider are the types of wadding (batting) and thread that you use. The two types of batting that I use are Matilda's Own Wool Batting and Matilda's Own 100% Cotton batting. When deciding which to use think about what sort of finished product you want. Wool will give you a more padded look with better defined stitches, and with careful washing and handling will not shrink and give you many years of enjoyment. Cotton gives a thinner finished product but if it is not pre-washed, will shrink slightly when washed resulting in an antique type finish.

The different types of threads available are too numerous to mention as there are many specialty threads on the market that can give you a very different finish. I mainly quilt with cotton thread, but use variegated threads quite a lot. If you have any other thread preferences please discuss it with me.

The cost of machine quilting is based on the size of your quilt top. It will cost $4.00 per square foot. We are happy to discuss different ideas with you and can usually give you a quote over the phone.
