Basting

/ sq in
Basting is a temporary stitch that holds your quilt layers together, making it ready for hand quilting or other finishing methods. I’ll carefully layer and stabilize your quilt top, batting, and backing using longarm machine stitches that are easy to remove later.

Computerized quilting — also called edge-to-edge or pantograph quilting — uses a digital pattern to guide the machine in smooth, even stitches across your entire quilt. It’s ideal for consistent, all-over designs that add texture without distracting from your quilt top.

Hand-guided quilting includes free-motion and ruler work, where I guide the machine manually to create custom designs, textures, and motifs. This style allows for more artistic detail and personalization, perfect for highlighting special areas or adding heirloom-quality touches.
Computerized Longarm Quilting
There’s an incredible range of E2E styles out there. Some are light and airy, others bold and detailed. They can be geometric, floral, whimsical, feathery, pictorial…truly anything from subtle texture to statement-making artwork. My library includes hundreds of pantographs (that’s the official name for these repeating designs), and new ones are released constantly. I’ve posted many of them on my site for you to preview, and have many more beyond what’s on the catalog. If you’d like to browse beyond what I already own, try searching online for “pantograph” or “edge‑to‑edge quilting design.”
Edge‑to‑edge quilting is a great choice when you want a simple, affordable way to add beautiful texture, and for quilts with busy prints, scrappy layouts, utility quilts, and everyday use projects where a consistent all‑over texture is the perfect finishing touch.

If you’re hearing the phrase Edge‑to‑Edge (E2E) quilting for the first time, picture one beautiful motif stitched in a continuous pattern across the entire quilt. The design flows from one edge to the other, creating a unified, polished finish.

Handguided Custom Longarm Quilting

Hand‑guided quilting includes free‑motion and ruler work, where I guide the machine manually to create custom designs, textures, and motifs. This style allows for more artistic detail and personalization, perfect for highlighting special areas or adding heirloom‑quality touches.
Hand‑guided work is especially well‑suited for quilts with open negative space, medallion centers, borders that deserve their own motifs, memory quilts, or projects with sentimental or historical value where a more expressive, human‑guided stitch feels appropriate. It’s also a beautiful choice for quilts that need custom framing, echoing, feather work, or block‑by‑block designs that elevate the piecing.
Because this service is highly customized, we’ll work together before quilting begins. I’ll share sample designs, discuss the overall style you’re envisioning, and create a rough sketch or drawn mockup showing the general placement of motifs and textures. Once you’re happy with the plan, I’ll finalize the layout and begin stitching your one‑of‑a‑kind design.

Not at all. I work with quilters of every skill level, from first‑time makers to seasoned artists. If you’re unsure about anything, I’m happy to help you prepare your project or share info and resources that have helped me in my own journey.
-
There are a few steps you can take to ensure the process is smooth and you get the best results possible! Here are my tips for prepping your quilt »»»
-
Your backing should be at least 8 inches longer and wider than your quilt top. This extra space allows the fabric to load smoothly onto the longarm frame and keeps your quilt square and tension‑balanced. Example: a top that is 70×8”0 should have backing that is 78×88”
How big should my batting be? Batting needs to be a minimum 5 inches longer and wider. If you’re using batting from my studio, I’ll size it for you. If you’re bringing your own, just make sure it’s clean, flat, and large enough for your quilt.
Can you piece my backing? Yes, simple piecing or joining is available for a small fee.
-
Yes, just make sure seams are pressed flat and the backing is squared. If you need help, I can check it during intake.
-
Do you provide batting? Yes, I stock and can order several types of batting (cotton, cotton‑blend, wool, and specialty options). You’re also welcome to provide your own as long as it’s new.
Can I bring my own batting? Yes-just make sure it’s large enough and free of creases or damage.
-
Minor fixes (loose seams, small puckers, trimming threads) are usually fine. Larger repairs can be done for an additional fee, and I’ll always check with you before making changes.
-
You can browse my design library and portfolio, or inspiration photos from other quilters for a specific request or we can choose together based on your style and preferences.
I’m happy to provide mockups or sketches for custom work.
-
I carry a wide range of high‑quality threads from brands like Wonderfil and Glide. Absolutely. If I don’t have it on hand, I can order it for you.
We’ll choose a color that blends beautifully or adds contrast—whatever suits your vision.
If you don’t have a preference, I generally recommend and will use a light neutral. -
Yes. I’ll send packing tips and confirm your project when it arrives.
-
Turnaround varies by season and project complexity. Most edge‑to‑edge quilts are completed within 4 weeks; custom work takes longer. I’ll give you a clear estimate before we begin.
Sometimes, I can expedite a project, depending on my schedule. If you have a deadline, let me know and I’ll see what’s possible.
