E-2-E is a longarm machine quilting service that is one pattern repeated over the entire quilt. The pricing above is based on pattern density. To quilt a pattern in the $0.02/sq in range usually means using a "bigger" pattern, i.e. less dense, more loose; however, if I am able to do so, I will reduce the $0.03 fee acco

If you are local and personally deliver your top, I am happy to show you examples of the difference in pricing/density.

An example of this longarm machine quilting service may be one pattern in the border and one (E2E) design in the inside section. Or, it may include an E2E pattern in tandem with light custom quilting, such as the logo I created above for a client's quilt (with permission from the college, of course).

While custom quilting is very time intensive, the end result can be quite special. Custom projects can range from 10-50+ hours to complete depending on type and density of quilting, SID, etc. While I may be completing less custom projects in the future, I'm happy to start a conversation to see if I can help you a

I mostly use Omni poly 40W thread. I occasionally use MicroQuilter 100W and SoFine! 50W depending on the project e.g. fabric age, SID, blending, etc.
On average, thread fee is about $1/bobbin (M-class bobbins) and needles are usually under $1 each. Why? Because thread and needles used during the longarm process are another necessary tool of the trade. No thread or needle = no quilting and that's a bummer.
*Reminder: ask which fiber types of QD batting I have available for purchase. There were some shipping delays last fall and my white 80/20 goes quick.*
I usually stock (some) Quilter's Dream batting available for purchase, mostly Select (mid) loft, such as: 100% Cotton, 80/20 Blend , Poly (Black & White) Dream Angel (fire retardent), Dream Orient & Wool.
Poly is usually the least expensive at $9 for a throw size to Dream Orient at the high-end at $47 for a king.
You may provide your own batting but if I may give a piece of advice - batting is not the time the scrimp. ;-)
Of course, I have to collect sales tax for my quilting service. For Iowa, it is 7%. After which, I pay quarterly sales tax to the IA Dept. of Revenue. Yup...this is an actual business for which I have to pay taxes. I betcha' thought my small business was exempt from that, huh? Nope. ;-)

P.S. Meet Plopsy.
If you need assistance with pick-up or delivery of your quilt, please contact me to discuss this service. Below are the fees to do so:
For example, Iowa City, IA and Galesburg, IL are within a 60-mile radius of the QSBS Studio, so the fee for me to either pick-up/deliver a quilt from/to either of those locations would be $35.
Not in the mood to drive? As an option, you may mail your quilt top and backing to the QSBS Studio. Upon completion of the project, I will return it to you at the most economical, but secure,postage/UPS/Fed-ex rate and add the shipping and handling costs in the invoice.

Mention this ad and save $10 off your machine quilting service fees. (Note: This applies to quilting projects that are more than $50. )
A minimum of a $50 fee will apply to smaller items such as quilt/wall art, baby blanket, etc. However, if due to size and design of the item, the quilting takes longer than 2 hours to complete, the fee may convert to cost / sq in as noted in the above section.
I pieced the bright table runner from scrap material of another quilt and sewed straight-line quilting using my domestic machine. You may recognize the quilt from which the scraps were leftover in the Photo Gallery. Click on the button below to view photos of quilts I have quilted using my longarm machine quilting service.
