Longarm Quilting Services
All of our machine quilting is done by Patty Van Dorin.
Patty has been quilting with APQS longarms since 1999.
Her specialty is modern and micro quilting in addition to other styles including traditional, free motion and art quilting.
Pricing
All quilt prices are based on the square inches of your quilt top.
To figure quilting cost take the length x width x cost per square inch plus $8.00 thread and needle charge and return postage.
example:
60" x 80" = 4800 square inches
x cost per square inch (using the all over quilting price) 4800 x .025 = $120.00
add the $8.00 thread cost $120.00 + $8.00 = $128.00
add the return postage (large flat rate USPS box) $128.00 + $17.90 = $145.90
$145.90 would be the cost to quilt a top that measures 60" by 80"

Your quilt backing and batting must be at least 8 inches longer and 8 inches wider overall than your quilt top. Both the top and the back need to be clearly labelled TOP or UP. If they are not labeled, I will make the best choice for direction.

Customers may supply their own backing. Sheets are not the best choice of backing but if you do want to use a sheet, please make sure that you have washed it in hot water a number of times to ensure that it has shrunk as much as it will.
Shipping Charges are actual charges. I primarily use USPS and find that their flat rates boxes are the most economical.
I will use the USPS if you do not indicate a preferred shipping method. Please indicate the amount of postage insurance amount if desired. All shipping costs are added to the invoice.
I can not be responsible for the quilt once it leaves our hands, so please keep this in mind.
