Sweet Pea Quilting charges by the square inch for our longarm quilting services. The cost is 0.3-0.5 cents/sq. inch for a pantograph, depending on pattern difficulty. If your quilt is 40” by 65”, then 2,600 sq. inch x 0.3 = $78.

Quilt Preparation Checklist

Submit your quilt in 3 separate pieces – top, backing and batting
Ensure that the top and backing are square and void of loose thread
Have the top pressed and folded neatly
Stitch a quarter inch from the edge all around your quilt top. This will prevent seams from pulling apart during quilting
Backing and batting should be at least 4” wider and longer than the whole quilt
