Thread:
100% cotton thread is used in quilting your quilt. Most solid colors are available and many variegated colors. Thread is charged at $2.00 per bobbin.
Binding Service:
I prepare double fold French binding from customer's fabric or muslin used on the back. Binding is charged by the linear inch. Linear inches are calculated by adding length x 2 plus width of quilt x 2 (ex. 80" + 80" + 180" + 180" = 376"). Most quilts need 1 yard of fabric for binding, and bias binding needs 2 yards (extra fabric will be returned with quilt).
Half binding | Machine applied to front and customer stitches it to the back | $.08 per linear inch |
Full binding #1 | Machine applied to front and hand sewn on back with sewn miter corners | $.20 per linear inch |
Full binding #2 | Machine applied to the back and machine stitched down on the front | $.15 per linear inch |
Full binding #3 | The backing brought to the front and machine stitched down on the front | $.12 per linear inch |
Bias Binding | Full binding for curved edge quilts like wedding ring | $.25 per linear inch |

Pressing of top or back | $5.00 each |
Seaming of the back | $5.00 per seam |
Squaring up of the back | $5.00 |
Repairs (to be able to put in machine) | $12.00 per hour |
Shipping(if don't live with driving distance of studio):
- Shipping is either by USPS or UPS your choice. Shipping and handling is $15.00 per quilt plus insurance. I am not responsible for lost shipments. Please buy insurance to cover reimbursement of quilt.
- Do not use the word "QUILT" on the outside of the box where someone will see it and know what is inside. Address the box to Sharon Jack instead of Country Home Quilting & More.
- Send a $50.00 deposit or full amount if less with your quilt. Remainder due when quilt is finished before quilt is shipped.
Preparing your quilt for quilting:
- Borders need to be straight. Measure across the middle of the quilt for length and width of each border, this will make quilt straight. Don't just cut strips and sew them on from edge to edge. This can cause wavy borders.
- Stay stitch 1/8 inch around the outer edges of the top with no borders or pieced borders. This prevents seams coming apart due to tension in the machine.
- Make sure your backing is square, otherwise when pinned on the rollers it won't be straight.
- Make sure the backing and batting are 6 inches larger on all sides of the top. This is due to each piece pinned on separate rollers.
- Press seams and cut threads from top and backing.
- Mark the top and backing of the quilt with a safety pin if it matters which end is the top.
- Send a yard of fabric (2 yards if bias) if I am to make the binding for you (excess will be returned.
- Do not pin, baste or attach binding ahead of time.
