In 2010 after 10 years of quilting I have decided to take a break, but leave this information here for your use when preparing your top for quilting.

 
what do I need to bring?
 1. Your quilt top, preferably nicely pressed, especially if you require stitch in the ditch work to be done. I do charge for the time if a quilt needs to be pressed before it goes onto the machine.
 2. Your backing. Backing should be pre washed, straightened, and joined if necessary so that it is at least 10cm bigger than the quilt top. The SELVEDGE SHOULD BE REMOVED from the seam, and seam pressed OPEN.
3. Your wadding if you wish to supply your own. Quilt Workshop does supply both wool and cotton wadding, and also has a small range of wide, good quality backing fabrics in classic colours.
4. You do NOT need to baste your quilt layers together.

What sort of quilting should I choose for my quilt? Consider what the quilt needs in terms of decoration and stability.  Plain areas will show fancy quilting, busy prints will not. Consider who is to receive the quilt, a child or NQP (non quilting person) may not appreciate expensive custom quilting, you might save this luxury for something you have made for yourself, or some other extra special Project. Lastly, consider cost. Custom work looks fabulous and costs at least double simpler continuous quilting. Continuous designs are becoming more varied and interesting, and  look wonderful too.

How much will it cost? This depends on  the size of quilt, as I charge by the square metre. Pricing for continuous starts at around AU $40 per square metre. So a double quilt around 2m x 2m is 4 square metres, will cost about $160. Custom work is at least double, depending on the density and intricacy of the stitching. The best way is to phone, email, or bring in your quilt top, and we can discuss designs and pricing.

how long will it take?  I do not intend to take any more bookings until 2012.
