Longarm Quilting Services
Take the stress out of trying to quilt your patchwork tops and let us quilt it for you. There is no need to scramble around trying to layer up your quilt, our machine does that for you. We offer a computerised pantograph service (edge to edge design). This ensures the design you choose is excecuted to perfection. Our Longarm Quilting studio is always clean and smoke and pet free to ensure that your treasured quilt is finished off to the highest standards.
We offer a wide choice of thread and colours to choose from and this is included in our pricing.
Wadding - you can use your own or purchase from ourselves.
Backing Fabrics - We stock a range of wide backing fabrics so that you do not have to join fabrics together.
Thread - As we try and keep our prices as low as possible, Solid ColourThread is included in the pricing. If however you would like varigated thread, there is a cover charge of £12 for Kingsize, £10 for a double, £8 for a single £5 for lap sizes.
Simple Pantograph
£20 per square yard when backing & wadding purchased from Quilt Sandwich.
£22 per square yard otherwise.
min charge - £25 all prices inc of VAT
Choose from our extensive designs of simple pantographs to complement your quilt. These designs are quicker to quilt than the complex ones, but still professionally completed and indeed sometimes a quilt only calls for a simple design so as not to distract fromt he beautiful quilt designs.
We will help you choose if you would like assistance.
A free motion meander is also available for quilts which have areas to be avoided - eg applique, embroidery etc.
Complex Pantograph

You can choose to have your quilt returned straight from the longarm quilt frame or trimmed down ready for binding.
We can also machine on a two and a quarter inch double binding to the front of your quilt with mitred corners ready for you to hand stitch on the back or we can complete the whole job for you so your quilt is fully completed when its returned. The choice is yours.
If you want to hand quilt your quilt, we can layer it up and baste it for you with the size advantage of the longarm quilt machine.
This can be done in either a square grid or large meander design. You can then just snip every few stiches and remove the tacking when ready.
We can even offer washaway thread should you require it.
