Edge to Edge by Statler
• Simple Pattern
|
$.01625 sq. inch
|
| • Multiple Patterns | $.025 sq. inch |
Edge to edge (or overall) quilting designs are the most simple, economical and popular choice. These continuous designs go from edge to edge on the quilt top. Choices include several patterns which can be either freehand or pre-programmed and done by Statler Stitcher. When guided by the Statler Stitcher (a computer program), the machine can stitch almost any design, as well as regulating the length of the stitches. Edge to edge quilting preserves your quilt design while adding texture.
To further customize your quilting, choose a combination of patterns (for example, use flowers in the quilt blocks and leaves in the borders). This is denser quilting and can be done either freehand or by Statler Stitcher.
Custom
Custom designs enhance your quilt's appearance with small to medium sized stippling, freehand designs or motifs on quilt blocks 12" or larger, and includes some border designs.
starts at $.03 sq. inch |
Heirloom
Heirloom designs are perfect for fancy, small blocks. Feather motifs, fans, micro to small stippling and some border designs will complete the quilt that you want to be treasured for generations.

Machine Basting
For those who wish to hand quilt but don't want to thread baste or pin baste the quilt, machine basting is an easy and cost effective solution.

Half Binding by Machine
If you really want to save some time finishing your quilt, have us half bind for you. You supply the fabric and we will make and apply the continuous binding to the quilt. You finish the binding by hand-stitching it to the back of your quilt.
$.10 sq. inch
Prepare Quilt Backing
Preparing the quilt backing includes removing selvages, piecing the and squaring the back and then pressing it. You provide the fabric for the quilt backing.
We offer 120" muslin at $11.00 per yard should you desire a quilt backing which does not need to be pieced.
If your quilt backing needs to be squared up when we receive it, the $15.00 charge will be applied. We are happy to provide you with instructions on squaring the quilt backing should you wish to do it yourself.
$15.00
Turning Borders
Occasionally in order to quilt the borders to the best of our ability, some require the quilt to be turned.
$15.00
Repair Work, Unbasting & Unpinning
If you have a quilt top in need of repair, we provide excellent mending services. Should you bring us a quilt which has already been thread or pin basted, it must be unbasted in order for us to quilt it on our longarm machine.
$20.00
Batting
Should you wish to purchase batting from us, we have several types available including batting from Quilter's Dream, The Warm Company and Hobbs. Please call if you have other requests for batting and we will do our best to accommodate you. We are happy to recommend a batting for your quilt if you are unsure of what would give you the final result you are looking for.

Signature Cotton Thread

Signature Cotton is 100% mercerized long-staple cotton thread. The three-ply, long-staple fiber construction combined with the mercerization and finishing processes all contribute to its superior strength, luster and low lint properties. This thread is the perfect choice for purists who prefer cotton through and through. It comes in several color choices.

King Tut Thread
$15.00
King Tut is an extra-long staple Egyptian cotton thread whose quality is second to none. It comes in a wide variety of
tone-on-tone as well as variegated
color choices. The subtle shading of
tone-on-tone color is beautiful when used on traditional designs such as feathers. The one inch subtle color changes in the variegated thread works nicely for almost any design, especially background quilting. King Tut is a very soft thread, is amazingly strong and lies attractively on the fabric surface.

Other Thread
While we will always do our best to accommodate your requests, we are not always able to use just any thread you might bring to us. Our desire to give you the best possible quilting means that sometimes we cannot use certain threads due to machine tension (and other) constraints. If you have a specific thread you would like us to use, we are happy to discuss those options with you in advance.
Following this simple list of instructions will help you prepare your quilt top and backing for longarm quilting, as well as avoid additional charges. Please contact us with any questions and we will be happy to assist you.
Press the quilt top and back well and
be sure that they are square.
Be sure all the seams are pressed flat on the quilt top and that none are coming apart. If you have pieced the quilt back, be sure that you have pressed the seam and that it is secure. Remove all selvages from the seams and edges of the quilt back. Check that the top and the back are square—if you need help with this process, please contact us. If the top and the back are not square, they will not load properly onto the machine. Unless you instruct us otherwise, we will stay-stitch around the edges of the top and the back to ensure that no seams pop open during the quilting process.
Trim and remove all stray threads.
It is very important to remove any stray threads from the back of the quilt top and along the seam of the quilt back. Stray threads can show through the quilt top or back after it has been quilted and will diminish the look of the finished product.
The quilt backing and batting must be at
least 8" larger all the way around than
the quilt top.
In order to load the quilt onto the machine straight, the quilt backing and batting must be at least 8" larger than the top. For example, if your quilt top measures 48" x 60", the backing and the batting should both be 56" x 68".
Indicate which edge of your quilt top
is the top.
If there is a top edge to your quilt top, please pin a piece of paper to that edge so that we may orient the top correctly when loading it onto the machine. This also indicates the orientation of some quilting designs.
Do not baste the quilt.
In order to load the quilt onto the machine, it cannot be basted. The top, backing and batting are all loaded separately from each other onto the machine. Please be sure the three pieces (top, batting and backing) are not attached to each other when you send them to us. An extra charge will be applied if your quilt is already basted when we receive it.
Please be sure the borders are completely
flat when you attach them to your quilt top.
When you apply borders to your quilt top, an easy way to prevent "wavy" borders is to measure the quilt top on both edges and then down the center. Add the three measurements together and then divide them by three to get an average size for the border. Do this when attaching borders both vertically and horizontally, and your borders will be the perfect size.
When you measure your finished quilt top across the center of the top and then the outside edges, there should not be more than 1/2" difference between the two measurements. This will prevent tucks from being quilted into your quilt.
Be sure to include any special instructions.
When the quilting is completed, we do not trim the edges unless you instruct us to or unless we are applying binding for you. If you would like the edges trimmed, left over fabric scraps will be donated unless you instruct us otherwise.
If you have other specific instructions for us, please be sure to include them when you send your quilt top to us.
We only ship with the USPS, with
a signature required when you
receive your quilt.
Your quilt will be sent back to you via the USPS with a signature required upon your receipt of the package. Additional insurance is available for approximately $1.00 per $100.00 of insurance. Please let us know if you would like us to purchase additional insurance when we ship your quilt back to you. A variety of other handling services is available for additional charges (such as package tracking) if you so desire. When we ship your package to you, we will call or email you to let you know that it's on the way.
Please wrap your quilt top, back and
batting in a plastic bag when you
ship it to us.
To ensure that your quilt top, back and batting arrive in the best condition possible, please wrap them in a plastic bag. In the highly unlikely event that your package is exposed to the elements on its way to us, this will help prevent any damage to your quilt top.
