Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get started / submit my quilt?

Please complete an online quilting request form prior to shipping or dropping off your quilt. It is the perfect way to tell me about your quilt, your preferred design, thread and batting options. My address will be provided to you upon submitting the form.

What is the turnaround time?

Usually estimated at two to four weeks from the time I receive the quilt top to the time I send it back. Shipping times vary by location. I will communicate if it is shorter/longer than anticipated.

How much does it cost?

Pricing depends on quilt size and design choice. You can see full details on my Rates page.

How big should my backing be?

Your quilt backing should be at least 4 inches larger than your quilt top on all sides. For example, if your quilt top is 60 x 70 inches, your quilt back should be at least 68 x 78 inches.

Do you offer batting?

Yes, I offer Hobbs 80/20 batting or you can provide your own batting. Batting should measure 2″ larger than your quilt top on all sides. The batting can be smaller than the backing by 2″. See diagram above.

What if my quilt top isn’t perfectly square?

No worries, a little bit of wonkiness is normal. I can usually work with a top that’s slightly off-square. If it’s significantly off, I’ll contact you before I start so we can talk through the best approach.

Can I choose my thread color?

Yes! You can let me know your preferred thread color on the request form, or I’m happy to recommend a color that complements your fabric if you’d like my opinion.

What if I don’t find a design I like in your design library?

I have many more designs than what I’m able to list on my website. Please feel free to send me a photo of designs that you like and I’m always able to search for it or add it to my library.

If it’s a one-time design that I likely wouldn’t reuse for other quilts, I’m happy to purchase it for your project — designs typically run about $15, which I’ll add to your invoice.

Do you offer local drop-off, and how does payment work?

I am located in Flower Mound, Texas, serving the DFW area. If you’re local to the area and would prefer to drop off your quilt, you can drop it off in person or we can meet at one of our local quilt shops.

Shipping is a convenient option, whether you are local or out of state. I accept quilts from all over the country.

An invoice will be sent via email as soon as the quilt is completed. As soon as the invoice is paid, the quilt will be sent back or you can pick it up in person.

Still have questions, please contact me.
