Three Main Quilting Styles

Click any thumbnail to view a larger image.

Edge to Edge (E2E)

This is a repeated design called Pantograph, or "Edge-to-Edge." The pattern is quilted top to bottom. We have several patterns to choose from.

Custom Quilting

Is a unique way to break out your quilt into various patterns to enhance your design. This requires much more time to quilt thus our fees are slightly higher than other services.

Semi-Custom Quilting

Quilting around areas that may be embroidered or appliquéd. Borders may be quilted differently from Edge-to-Edge quilting. Then Edge-to-Edge quilting for the rest of the quilt.

Choosing Your Stitching Patterns

When we begin work, a picture of your quilt top will allow me to overlay patterns that I think will complement your quilt. Patterns will look dense on your picture, but only to give you an idea of the pattern on your quilt. Next, you choose which you like best, request a few more, or ask me to choose for you.
