Edge to Edge quilting is an excellent option for finishing your quilt. Often referred to as all-over quilting, it's a popular quilting technique where a continuous pattern is stitched across the entire quilt, from one edge to the other. Edge-to-edge quilting provides a consistent, uniform design that can complement a variety of quilt styles.  Because it uses a single pattern throughout the quilt, edge-to-edge quilting is typically more affordable than custom quilting, which requires more intricate, detailed work for each section. Edge-to-edge quilting is an excellent choice for quilters seeking efficiency and affordability without sacrificing the quilt’s overall beauty. Edge-to-edge quilting will ensure a polished and professional result.

Edge to Edge quilting is charged at 2p per square inch of finished size plus a £30 preparation and loading fee. One thread colour is included.

Example costs (costs are quilting only and do not include postage)

40x50 inch finished size = £70

(roughly cot sized)

60x90 inch finished size = £138

(roughly single sized)

85x90 inch finished size = £183

(roughly king sized)

Semi-custom quilting offers a perfect middle ground between the simplicity of edge-to-edge quilting and the detailed artistry of fully custom quilting. Semi-custom quilting is a wonderful option for customers who want a combination of personalization and efficiency. It provides a beautiful, balanced finish with tailored designs in key sections, while still maintaining an overall cohesive look. Semi-custom quilting can elevate your project to the next level, all while keeping the process affordable and relatively quick.

Semi-Custom Quilting includes the use of 2 different patterns during the quilting process. For example an all over design in the center and a border pattern for framing or a particular pattern for a particular block and edge to edge over the remainder of the quilt.

Semi-Custom Quilting is charged at 3p per square inch of finished size plus a £30 preparation and loading fee. Two thread colours are included.

Custom quilting is a highly personalized quilting technique where each section of the quilt is individually designed and stitched according to your preferences. Unlike edge-to-edge quilting, where a single pattern is applied to the entire quilt, custom quilting offers the opportunity to incorporate a variety of designs and details, making each quilt unique and one-of-a-kind. 

 With custom quilting, every section of the quilt can feature a different pattern or design that complements the fabric, colors, and theme of the quilt.  Custom quilting requires more time, skill, and attention to detail than edge-to-edge quilting. Customers will often choose this method for heirloom pieces or special projects that require a higher level of craftsmanship and artistry. 

When to Choose Custom Quilting:

• If you’re creating a special quilt, such as a gift, heirloom, or commemorative piece.
• When you want to incorporate multiple designs or detailed patterns that reflect your personality or the quilt’s theme.
• If you’re looking for artistic expression and a high level of craftsmanship.
• For quilts that will become treasured keepsakes that reflect your unique taste and vision.

In summary, custom quilting is the ideal option for those looking to create something truly special. It offers the ability to incorporate intricate, personalized patterns that elevate your quilt into a work of art. This method ensures a uniquely crafted quilt with unmatched beauty and craftsmanship.

Prices for custom quilting are as varied as the quilts themselves. An estimate will be provided during the initial consultation.

Binding can be machine sewn to the front of the quilt with mitered corners, ready for hand sewing to the back. Binding is to be provided by the customer and should be ready for sewing.

Sewing on binding is charged at 25p per inch.
