  • Edge to Edge Quilting

    We offer hand-guided edge-to-edge quilting using our A1 quilting machine. Edge-to-edge quilting (or all-over quilting) is stitched in rows from one side of the quilt top to the other and is then repeated over the entire surface of the quilt top joining it to the batting and backing. This is done using a pantograph which is a continuous line pattern that the professional machine quilter uses to guide the machine.

    The cost of the edge-to-edge quilting varies depending on the density and complexity of the pantograph chosen. Visit our pantograph library to view the pantographs currently available and their prices. Make sure you check back often as we add more designs to our library regularly.

    Edge-to-edge quilting is charged by square area. To calculate the size of your quilt multiply the length in inches by the width in inches and divide the answer by 144 to give the square foot.

  • Loading fee

    We charge a $25 loading fee. This covers the time it takes to load the quilt top, batting, and backing on the machine, and prepare one thread colour.

  • Thread

    I use Rasant 120 cotton/polyester thread, and will only use matching top and bobbin thread.

    If you require more than one colour thread this will be charged at $5.00 per thread change.

  • Batting

    You can supply your own high-quality batting or we have several options available for purchase.

    Our soft-to-the-touch, high-quality selection of battings is all Australian, sourced and made by Wool Valley in Victoria, Australia (www.woolvalley.com.au).

    Batting is priced by the meter and varies depending on the type chosen. All battings are 2.1 metres wide.

    • 100% wool batting - $30 per metre

    • 50/50 wool/cotton - $31 per metre

    • 100% cotton - $32 per metre

    • 60/40 wool/poly - $26.50 per metre

    If you are supplying your own batting please ensure it is at least four inches larger on all four edges of your quilt top.

  • Backing Fabric

    You are welcome to supply your own backing fabric or we have a selection available to purchase.

    To view our selection of backing fabrics, click here.

    If you are supplying your own backing fabric please ensure it is at least four inches larger than the quilt top on all four edges. Please also press the backing including any seams and ensure it is square.

  • Trimming

    We will trim the excess backing fabric and batting from your quilt. You can choose to either not have this done, to have a rough trim completed, or to have an exact trim and square of your quilt. Scraps can then either be returned to you or we can dispose of them.

    Rough trim - the backing and batting will be trimmed to roughly 1/4 inch from the edges of the quilt top.

    Exact trim and square - the backing and batting will be cut exactly to the edge of the quilt top and squared.

    Quilt size Rough trim Exact trim

    Under 35 square feet $15 $25

    35 to 45 square feet $20 $30

    Over 45 square feet $25 $35

  • Binding

    We can finish your quilt for you. We have a variety of options available for this service depending on how you would like the binding finished. All bindings or fabrics for binding will need to be supplied by the customer as we do not have any available for purchase at this time.

    All binding options are charged per inch. To work out the linear inch for your quilt add the length and the width together and multiply by two.

    Pre-made binding supplied

    • Attach it to the front only (machine) - $0.15 per inch

    • Machine stitch to the front and hand stitch to the back - $0.45 per inch

    • Machine stitch to the back and “big stitch” by hand to the front - $0.45 per inch

    Fabric provided

    • Binding fabric made only (customer to attach) - $0.10 per inch

    • Make binding and attach it to the front (machine) - $0.25 per inch

    • Make binding, machine stitch to the front, and hand stitch to the back - $0.55 per inch

    • Make binding, machine stitch to the back, and “big stitch” by hand to the front - $0.55 per inch

    If supplying fabric, the binding will be made to 2.5 inches (unless requested otherwise), please allow enough to ensure the binding will go around the full linear edge remembering to allow extra for joins.

  • Quilt delivery and return

    Are you a local or feel like getting out for a drive in the country? It’s free to drop off your quilt and pick it up once complete!

    Do you live locally but are unable to deliver your quilt yourself? We offer a pick-up and delivery service, this is charged per trip (eg. $5 for pick-up and $5 for drop-off). Days and times for this service vary and are subject to change. Costs are based on distance from the business address (Glengarry, Tasmania, 7275):

    • Pickup and delivery to within 10km $2.50

    • Pickup and delivery to within 25km $5.00

    • Pickup and delivery to within 45km $10.00

    (If you live further than 45km but would still like to consider this pickup and delivery service please contact us for pricings and availability).

    We can also use the postal service for delivery and return of your quilt within Australia. We use Australia Post for shipping and charge at cost (usually around $25 for a large quilt).

    (We are happy to use a mix of delivery methods if that suits you best, for example, we pick up your quilt and you pick it up from the business once it is complete, just let us know if this is something you would like and we can organise it for you!)

  • Corrections fee

    Upon receiving and inspecting your quilt, should any issues requiring substantial correction arise this will be discussed, and a quotation will be provided before the commencement of work (via email). This will be charged at a rate of $40 per hour or part thereof.

  • Minimum charge $75
