Professional Longarm Quilting Services in Lake County, IL

With over 25 years of quilting experience, and nearly 10 years as a longarm quilter, I provide professional longarm quilting services from my home studio in Lake County, IL. I specialize in edge-to-edge, semi-custom, and custom quilting using a GAMMILL longarm machine with Statler Stitcher precision.

Edge to Edge Quilting

This is one simple pattern over your entire quilt with one thread color. Cost is $.0225 cents per square inch. Call me about the current turnaround time.

This is a combination of a simple overall design along with some custom border, sashing, and/or block design with one thread color. Cost varies from $.0275 cents up to $.0475 cents per square inch, depending on the complexity of the overall design.

Custom Quilting

Blocks, Borders, Background fill, stitch in the ditch, etc. Custom Quilting prices vary, starting at $.0575 per square inch, and are determined on a case-by-case basis. Cost may also include an hourly rate, which is $23/hour. Please contact me about custom pricing.

I use mostly Superior Omni Thread ($3.00 per quilt) but am also starting to add YLI Quiltmaker Thread.

Binding

I will perform a few binding options by machine using your pre-made binding or making binding from your provided fabrics. Prices start at $1.00/foot up to $2.00/foot. I am happy to discuss options with you.

Backing

Piecing and pressing the back is charged at $15.00/seam.

Minimum Charge

There is a minimum charge of $45.00 per quilt.

Calculate Cost

The prices are based on the size of your quilt and complexity of the pattern. I charge by the square inch. To figure the total square inch of your quilt top, measure the width and the length and multiply them together. This will give you the total square inches of your quilt. Then multiply the total square inches by the type of quilting you want.

Example

A quilt that measures 60 × 72 = 4320 square inches
4320 x.0225 = $97.20 for the quilting only—no other items included.

Estimate

I always offer a free estimate if you would like to discuss what you want me to do for you. I will provide an accurate, realistic, and reasonable estimate. Then you can decide what you want without any surprises.
