BOOKING YOUR QUILT

Please contact Val by phone or email to discuss details of your quilt & availability on her schedule.

Generally I can offer a 2 to 3 week turn-around for Edge to Edge Quilting.  Custom Quilting requires a much longer lead time as I am only able to work on one Custom Quilt per week, while fitting in the Edge to Edge work in between.

I only have one quilting machine to work with so I can only work on one quilt at a time.

Check details on Quilt Preparation page before bringing/sending your quilt for Quilting

ESTIMATE FOR QUILTING

Should you require an estimate for cost of quilting, please send me an email or phone with the following information:

 
  • Your name & phone number so you can be contacted in person if necessary. 
  • Measurements & style of your quilt, any detail such as appliqué or embroidery, extra borders, etc, name of quilt design if made from a kit or magazine article. 
  • What type of quilting do you have in mind?  Refer to Quilting Styles or Gallery page for reference & ideas. 
  • What thread colour would you prefer?  Consider a colour that will tone with the fabrics in your quilt top.  This should also be considered when choosing the colour of backing fabric.
  • Do you have your own wadding & backing fabric or would you like these to be supplied? (see note below) Consider the type of wadding you would like. Also check Quilt Preparation page for backing & wadding requirements.
  • Attach a photograph of your quilt to your email if possible, this will help to confirm the style of quilting & designs which would be most suited.
  • Do you need the quilt to be completed & returned by a certain date for a special occasion?  It is often best to contact the quilter on the amount of lead-time required for quilting.  This will vary according to the type of quilting required & also the number of quilts which have already been booked ahead of yours!
  • Please keep in mind that customised quilting will have a much longer waiting time than edge to edge work.

Please Note: Any further information which you can include is always helpful.  I shall endeavour to reply to your email as soon as possible, or contact me by phone.
