RATES
Square Inch Price
I charge 2.5 cents per square inch for all designs.
Example: A quilt top is 60 inches x 80 inches.
60 x 80 = 4800 x .025 = $120.
​
My minimum quilting charge is $50. This means that a small quilt or table runner's square inch price will be rounded up to the $50 minimum.
Batting
Batting is a separate charge and is not included in the square inch price.
​
I use and stock my favorite Quilters Dream batting in 80/20 cotton/poly blend unbleached and 100% natural cotton DELUXE loft unbleached.
The batting charge is calculated by the linear inch from queen rolls. I will use only what is needed for your quilt (smallest side plus a 5" margin) and charge per inch.
For example, if you have a 60" x 80" quilt, I would cut 65" of the batting of your choice.
65" of 80/20 cotton/poly blend @ $0.42/in = $27.30
65" of 100% natural cotton deluxe loft @ $0.60/in = $39.00
​​
Quilters Dream 100% Wool, Black Poly and Bamboo available by special order. Special orders are priced by package and will be quoted in advance.
Thread
There are no extra fees for thread use, it's included in the square inch price.
​
I stock Glide #40 weight and So Fine #50 weight threads.
My personal style attempts to match or blend thread color with the lighter areas of your quilt. But this is your quilt! Let me know if you have a preference on thread color.
Photography
Upon completion of the quilting, I'll take photos of your quilt and text the images to you. A social media shout out is always appreciated @pinkchalkstudio.
Shipping
Shipping Your Top and Backing to Me
​
I live in Sahuarita, Arizona and would be happy to receive your top and backing by mail. I recommend sending your materials enclosed in a plastic bag to protect against possible moisture in transit.
Return Shipping
​
Your quilt will be returned via USPS Priority Mail. $100 of insurance and tracking are standard. Indicate on your 'Book a Quilt' form if you would like to purchase additional insurance.
​​
The actual USPS return shipping charge will be included on the final invoice. No markup.
​
Local clients are welcome to drop off and pick up quilts at my home. Or we can meet up at a quilt shop in Sahuarita or Tucson.
Other Costs
The State of Arizona requires that I collect an 8.1% sales tax on the batting portion of an invoice. Quilting services and shipping are not subject to sales tax.
