The customer pays to ship the quilt top to us. We pay all shipping costs to return the completed quilt to the customer.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

After you check out and pay online, simply mail your quilt top and whatever else you are sending (backing fabric, batting, binding fabric, etc.) to us. Mail the package to:<\/p>\n

We will let you know when we receive your quilt top. Please \u00a0be sure to read the information on the Quilt Prep Page<\/a> of the website prior to packaging your quilt top.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

It will depend on how many quilts are ahead of yours. The average turnaround time is about 2 weeks. If\u00a0you need an item completed sooner, let us know, and we’ll see what we can do for you.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

Yes, we can take your quilt top at whatever stage you have it and take it as close to completion as you want us to.<\/p>\n

If you have backing fabric but you don\u2019t have batting, then we can supply the batting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have fabric for the binding, then we can provide the fabric for the binding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We can make the binding and attach it to the quilt.<\/p>\n

Of course the price of the finished quilt will depend on exactly what it is we need to do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

Yes! We can not only turn that pieced top into a completed quilt, but we can provide whatever is necessary to accomplish that – batting, backing fabric, binding, etc.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

Yes, we can use different thread colors for the front and back. On a custom quilt, sometimes several colors of threads are used to best suit the area of the quilt where they are used.<\/p>\n

If you know the color(s) of thread that you want us to use, then you can give us that information on the checkout page. There is a box there in the Checkout tutorial that you can enter any special notes or instructions.<\/p>\n

The thread chosen does not change the price; it is included with the quilting.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

This would probably be a custom quilt. Depending on the type and color of thread used, it’s sometimes okay to stitch over the appliqu\u00e9 and not detract from its beauty. However, if the appliqu\u00e9s are large, then we think it\u2019s best to at least provide some stitching over the appliqu\u00e9. This can be done with colored thread but can also be done with clear monofilament thread to minimize the thread\/stitching being seen.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

We prefer to use Glide or ISACORD No. 40 polyester thread. If you prefer a different brand or weight of\u00a0thread, let us know. If we don’t already have it, we should be able to get it while your quilt is in the queue\u00a0waiting to be quilted. The two links below will open documents listing all the colors available. Please note\u00a0that the color displayed on your device may vary slightly from the actual color.<\/p>\n

If you know the color(s) of thread that you want us to use, then you can give us that information on the checkout page. There is a box there in the Checkout tutorial that you can enter any special notes or instructions.<\/p>\n

The thread chosen does not change the price; it is included with the quilting. There is no additional charge for the thread.<\/p>\n
