Info
Threads
We use only high quality quilting thread on our machine. We have a large variety of colors to choose from with stock thread colors included in your quilting price.
Turn Around Time
We work very hard to get your quilt done as quickly as we can. Our usual turn around time for "overall" quilting is 4 weeks. We strive to have your custom quilt done as quickly as possible and can quote you a time frame, based on the current demand. If you need your quilt by a certain time, please make sure to let us know so we can do our best to get it to you! We do offer a rush fee which will expedite your quilt. Please be aware, the holiday season usually brings a longer turn around time.
Batting
We offer a few different options for batting for you to choose from. Hobbs 80/20 is our most popular, but we also offer wool batting, Polydown Plus batting, and Warm & White batting. If you have your own batting you would like to use, just let us know!
Designs
Our Statler Stitcher allows us to offer many different designs, both computerized and hand guided.
Size Requirements of your Quilt:
Please remember to leave your backing fabric 4 larger on all sides. This means your backing will be 8-10 wider and longer than your quilt top.
Example to determine estimate of cost:
To get square inches, measure the quilt width and length. Take quilt width and multiply that by the quilt length. Have a specific question about our longarm quilting service? Email jean@olivejuicequilts.com
