Need help finishing your quilt? Drop off your quilt top for edge-to-edge longarm quilting at Quilted Joy. Our in-house team will give it the perfect finishing touch.
Edge to edge designs start at one edge and continue to the other side, flowing through the piecing of your quilt top. This level of quilting adds wonderful texture to the surface of the quilt and allows the piecing to take center stage. We have a mountain of patterns to choose from!
Please Note: A $20 setup surcharge applies to quilts measuring under 2,500 square inches.
Batting and Backing needs to be a minimum of 8″ wider and 8″ longer than your top. If, for example, your top is 50 x 50, you need batting and backing that is 58 x 58. The extra allows the Quilt Fairies to have the needed room to attach your quilt to the frame, and you get all the extra back.
We carry almost 200 wide back fabrics that are perfect for your project! You can see them all here. You can also bring your own backing in for your quilt if you’d rather do that.
Backing needs to be a minimum of 6″ wider and 6″ longer than your top. Sheets are not the best choice of backing for your handiwork. If you must send a sheet as a backing, ensure that you have washed it in hot water a number of times to ensure it has shrunk as much as it will.
If you piece your backing fabric, remove any selvages before you sew the pieces together as they shrink at a different rate than the rest of the fabric and will cause puckers along the seam. Use a seam allowance BIGGER than the standard 1/4″ piecing seam (I like a 5/8″ seam or so). Press the seams open.
Would you like us to piece the backing together? $ 30 per seam
Binding made easy! We offer machine stitched front & back $30 - $45 depending on size of quilt.
There is a $15 new needle and thread charge for each quilt top. This includes around 708 yards of thread (about 3 bobbins worth).
We carry many different kinds of batting available for purchase. Price is dependent on the size needed. You may provide your own batting, but we recommend that you choose a good quality batting. We do not accept Mountain Mist brand, Fairfield brand, or the generic brand from JoAnns.
Batting should be 6 inches bigger than your quilt top just like your backing.
Please do not baste the quilt top, batting, and backing together. We need all three layers separated so we can attach them individually to the frame.
Your quilt will be insured while in our possession for the cost of the materials ONLY.
