Longarm Machine Quilting ServicesWe do longarm quilting at Sew In 2 Quilts. Edge to edge (any design) starts at $.02/sq inch which includes thread. Minimum quilt charge is $40. We ask that you call to schedule your quilt so that we don't have too many quilts on site at one time. Our goal is to have your quilt returned to you within a week of your scheduled date.
We have batting or you can bring your own. If you supply batting and it is pre-packaged, it must have been opened and fluffed so that wrinkles and bumps are out of the batting. If not, we cannot guarantee that it will be able to lay flat while quilting.
We carry the following types of batting on a roll:
- Hobbs 80/20 in white that is 96" or 120" wide
- Hobbs 80/20 in black that is 100" wide
- Quilters Dream Wool
- Quilters Dream Select Poly
- Quilters Dream Select Cotton

Quilt Preparation
- Press all seams flat.
- Remove loose threads on both the front and the back of the quilt.
- Don’t baste or pin the layers together
- If the backing is pieced, sew the pieces together with a 1/2” seam, pressed open. Remove all selvages on seams. Selvages may be left on outer edges.
- Square up backing, if customer provided.
- Use a safety pin to mark the top of the quilt and backing if you have a preference.
- Be sure all seams are secure. To be sure, you may want to stay-stitch 1/8” to 1/4” in from the raw edge especially if there is no border on the edges.
- Backing (and batting if customer provided) need to be at least 4” wider and longer than the quilt on all sides. Quilt width +8 and Quilt length +8.
- If you are bringing packaged batting, please open it and fluff it. Often packaged batting looks like this and it is hard to smooth it out.
