Please do not hesitate to contact me ahead of time to discuss your project. I would be pleased to offer advice and suggestions.

Option 1: All-Over Freehand

All-over freehand is exactly that. The design is applied freehand over the entire quilt, and does not depend on the underlying piecing.

Meander
(puzzle-like design)
Stars
Loops

Prices depend upon the density of the design, and range from 1¢ to 2¢ per square inch.

Option 2: Pantographs

Pantograph design is an all-over pattern applied by hand guiding the machine from side to side, following a pre-printed design. Many designs undulate and interlock and will not look like "rows" on the finished quilt. I purchase pantographs from longarm suppliers or individual designers. The possibilities are endless.

Here are some examples. (All are Linda V. Taylor designs.)

Feather Meandering
Feathered
Flower
Rainbow
Fan
Stars and
Loops

I stock basic designs and would be willing to consider purchasing others if you have a specific request. Price per square inch ranges from 1¼ ¢ to 1½ ¢.

Option 3: Custom

This is my favorite thing to do! Custom work is based on the underlying piecing, usually with separate block and border treatment. Price per square inch starts at 2¢.

This antique quilt top was finished with feather wreaths in the blocks and vines on the borders.
Sue's quilt has cross-hatching over the center squares, with scallops and freehand treatment on the borders.
Gretchen's updated batik log cabin quilt has pebbling at each "center" with radiating flame stitching.
Perfect circles highlight the 50 state flowers here.

Option 4: Miscellaneous Services

  • Basting in preparation for hand quilting - Yes, I do that! Fee is ¾¢ per square inch.
  • Completing UFO's (unfinished objects) - I do that, too! Customers sometimes ask me to finish piecing or to assemble quilt blocks that they have discovered at auctions or in Grandmother's attic. I charge an hourly rate ($20/hour) for this service, and would always want to discuss such a project with the customer first. Please feel free to call or email me.
