If you have completed quilt tops that you would like to finally get off your UFO (Un-Finished Object) list, out of the cupboard and gifted to a loved one, or yourself, then I can help you!
I offer two types of quilting services to suit different needs and budgets. Whether you’re looking for beautiful edge-to-edge patterns or custom artistry, I can bring your quilts to life.
Edge-to-Edge Patterns
I do allover, edge-to-edge patterns using my Handi Quilter Infinity and ProStitcher. Designs can be tailored to the style of your quilt and the tastes of the recipient.
What you provide: Quilt top, backing fabric, and batting (or I can supply backing and batting)
What I provide: Professional quilting thread
Custom Quilting
For those really special projects, I can do custom quilting for you on my Handi Quilter Amara 20. This is a more time intensive option. You will get a breath taking end result but you do need to plan ahead as I have a waiting list of several months.

Professional Quilting Services
I really want you to love your finished quilt. Please help me to achieve this by considering the following when preparing your quilt for quilting:
- Press your quilt top well. Press the seams in a consistent direction and make sure the top and backing lay flat
- Join backing fabric and batting if necessary
- Square up your backing fabric
- If your quilt top and/or backing fabric has a top and bottom please mark these
- Remove loose threads from the front of your quilt top to prevent them being quilted in
- Remove loose threads from the back of the quilt top, especially dark threads which can show through to the front
- Make sure the backing fabric and batting are 4-6 inches bigger than the quilt top on all sides
- Make sure your borders lay flat and are not wavy. Ripples cannot be quilted out and may result in tucks and pleats

Important:
Remember that quilting will draw in your quilt top so it will end up smaller than when you finished piecing it. The more quilting, the more it will ‘shrink’.
