What Changes the Final Price

• Quilt size (larger area = higher sq-in quilting cost)
• Quilting style (edge-to-edge $0.02750 vs custom $0.09000/sq-in)
• Batting type and source (customer-provided $0 vs wool $0.0054/sq-in)
• Thread choice ($0 customer vs $40 metallic) and changes ($5 each)
• Binding options ($0 none vs $0.20/in both sides)
• Special borders (# x (A/π) x $0.022)
• Blocks ($5 each)
• Rush fee ($60 flat)
• Pieced backing prep ($25 flat)

The $75 Minimum

Every quilting order has a $75 minimum fee to cover setup and small-project viability. If your calculated quilting (area x rate + handling + thread + blocks) is under $75, we charge $75. This ensures fair pricing for baby quilts, table runners, or simple basting.

Ways to Keep Cost Down

• Provide your own batting, thread, and backing to avoid supply fees.
• Choose edge-to-edge ($0.02750/sq-in) over custom ($0.09000/sq-in).
• Skip rush ($60) and special borders/add-ons.
• Handle your own binding prep and application.
• Minimize blocks and thread changes ($5 each).
• Opt for basic Hobbs 80/20 batting ($0.0035/sq-in) if buying.
• Keep quilt under 90x100 to lower area-based costs.
