Ready to give your quilt the beautiful finish it deserves? I would love to help! At my cozy sewing studio in Mt. Vernon, Iowa, I offer computer-guided, edge-to-edge longarm quilting using my Nolting longarm and Quiltmagine system. This allows me to provide smooth, consistent stitches and a polished finish every time.
You’re welcome to browse a variety of pantograph designs on my longarm quilting page and choose the style that best complements your quilt. I can quilt projects of all sizes—from small table runners to quilts up to 110 inches wide. Pricing begins at $0.02 per square inch, with a $55 minimum.
Before dropping off your quilt, please take a moment to look over the guidelines and tips on the longarm quilting page—they’ll help ensure the best possible results.
I truly look forward to helping you bring your quilt to life and celebrating your beautiful work with you!
