Prices for Quilt Finishing

Pricing for stitching is by the square inch based upon the type of quilting you choose.
How to figure the stitching cost:
Multiply the width x length x price per square inch.
Example: Full Size top, Simple panograph - 70" x 80" = 5600 square inches x $0.0175 =*$98.00
*There is no separate set-up charge.

Medium to Large Meander overall - Medium to large meander overall. | $.0185/sq. inch |
Simple Pantograph - Patterns listed as "Simple," the simplest of Edge-to-edge or all over patterns.

(Minimum stitching charge - $60.) | $.02/sq. inch |
