Let us take the edge off you by quilting your
project on our professional Quilting Machine. Get those quilts out of the
closet and let us do the work for you. Choose from a vast variety of
quilting designs for blocks, sashings and borders. Select your thread
color and type (cotton, metallic, etc). Our professional staff will care
for your quilt through the entire process.
Our goal is to enhance the beauty of your quilts by
providing the service of high-quality machine quilting. Each quilt will
be treated individually, with every effort made to insure that no two
quilts are exactly the same.
We welcome your ideas for stitching your quilt: design
stitching (pantographs), echo quilting, stippling, meandering, free
motion quilting, etc. You may draw a specific border design, on
your quilt before bringing it in for quilting, or we will draw it on for
you for an added charge.
Price is based on quilting labor. Extra charges for
thread, backing, batting, special preparation may be applied.

General Information
| We welcome your ideas for
stitching your quilt: design, stitching, echo quilting, stippling,
meandering, free motion quilting, etc.
Our quilter uses a variety of quilting
techniques and make every quilt as individual as the piecing and fabrics
used. Quilter's Choice is a popular selection of our repeat
customers.
Select desired stitching design(s) and provide us with any
special instructions. This could also include Quilter's choice,
leaving the selection to the creativity of the machine quilter.

Instructions
|
Determine how large to cut
backing and batting. If quilt top is 40" x 60" you would
cut your batting and backing 48"x68" (4" wider on all for
sides). The larger the quilt, the more extra width you will
need. (For king size your backing should be 8" wider on all
four sides.)
Choose a type of batting or bring your own. If you supply you own,
be sure the batting is 4-8 inches longer and wider that your quilt top.
Select your backing fabric. Prepare it for quilting by
pre-washing, drying, ironing and stitching pieces together if
necessary. Baking must be at least 4-8 inches longer and wider
than your quilt top (on all four sides). Please do not pin
layers together.
Your backing fabric needs to be
square. After determining appropriate size and cutting, fold
backing in half lengthwise, then in half width wise. Using your
quilting rulers, trip as necessary to make backing square.
If you want, select threat type and color for both the top and the bobbin (backing
side). Choose cotton, variegated, Jean stitch,
etc. Or you may have the quilter choose your thread. We no longer use nylon monofilament.
In you want us to apply the binding to the edges of your quilt, please
provide the fabric (uncut). We will prepare the binding and stitch
it to the quilt. We can also turn the binding and complete the hand
stitching if you desire.

Payment and Shipping
|
When your quilt is received at BJ's Quilt Basket, the
approximate cost will be calculated. At that time a labor deposit
of 50%
will be required (cash, check, Visa, or MasterCard). The balance
due, including costs of batting and threads, is required when the
quilting is completed and the quilt is picked up. Remaining thread
on spools will be considered your property.
If you live out of the Bend area and prefer to ship your quilt to use
for quilting, we will be happy to return it to you by mail or UPS.
Shipping and insurance charges will be added to your quilting order form
and must be guaranteed by a Visa or MasterCard account. |
