Let Me Quilt for You


The most cost and time effective way to complete your quilt is edge to edge quilting ( E2E) , also known as all over quilting.  This type of quilting works well for many styles of quilts. E2E for quilts that are going to be used and washed regularly. E2E designs stitch OVER any piecing and/ or applique. There is no stitch in the ditch or separate block or border designs. I have a huge selection of E2E designs.

Custom quilting is now only accepted on an application bases as my time becomes available. 

I offer what I call a 'Full Quiltmekiwi Service' where not only will I quilt your quilt, I can also make and attach the binding to the back and top stitch to the front or attach to front ready for you to hand stitch to the back. 


Tips BEFORE sending your quilt to me.
Please measure your quilt before adding sashing and borders and cut to these measurements, wavy quilts are often impossible to 'quilt out'! It can result in tucks and puckers. Please see the links for great tips on how to attach sashings and  borders.

Trim all threads, you don't want any dark threads lurking around,    these are especially visible under light fabrics.
If the edges of your quilt are pieced - please baste to stop the seams coming undone with handling.
Pieced backings: remove selvedges on any seams, 1/2” seam and press OPEN. (selvedges on the outer edges can remain as these give me a straight edge)   Backing & batting (which I can supply if you wish) needs to be a MINIMUM of 5" larger on ALL four sides than the quilt topPlease NO CALICO for backings.


As each quilt is unique, so also is the price! Please contact me for an obligation free quote.
