Quilting Services
Sew Ready Quilt Studio is happy and excited to be able to finish quilts for you! We provide many services to assist you in getting your treasure complete.
*Edge to edge designs begin at .02 per square in, the price will slightly increase for more dense designs. Custom quilting begins at .04 per square inch.
*Custom Quilt may include free motion work, precision ruler work, or a combination of both. Price will increase with the complexity of design.
*Vintage quilt tops are one of my favorite things to do! Helping it become the quilt it has always wanted to be. Working with hand pieced tops and quilts made out of clothing, aprons, feedback, etc can be a challenge. The quilting on these are usually .03 per square inch due to more manipulation and adjusting needed to make the tops lay flat for quilting.
