Once I have received your order, please allow 8-10 weeks for your quilt to be completed. If I receive your order by mail, payment must be received before I will mail out your quilt. You can send the payment with your order or I can send you an invoice when the quilting is completed. Finished quilt will be shipped out UPS and insured for $200 per quilt. Shipping, handling, and insurance charges are $13 for one quilt and $17 for 2 quilts (Shipping prices effective only in USA).

PLEASE make sure your quilt top is pressed and in reasonably good condition. Check for tucks and loose or raw seams. We both will be happier with the results if the quilt top is pressed, lays relatively flat and has very few tucks. I have found that polyester blend fabric will stretch and produce a fuller top in places. If there are any repairs that need to be done, I will notify you before quilting is started. Small problems can be fixed during the quilting process. Please note there will be a fee charged for repairs that I do to the quilt top or backing.

BINDING

I can apply the binding to the finished quilt at $.04 per measured inch. You will need to furnish at least 1 yard of 44" fabric. I use straight grain strips for binding and make mitered corners. I machine finish the binding to the front. I can also turn the backing up and over the top for binding if preferred.
