Edge-to-Edge (Pantographs) quilting is done where a single pattern is sewn in rows across the quilt, starting from 1 edge and ending on the opposite side. We will propose a pattern based on your preference input in the enquiry form. *Please note that you do NOT require basting service when you send your quilt top to us for edge-to-edge long arm quilting.
Price: S$0.045/ square inch, min. S$168
Turnaround Time: 8-12 weeks

Basting service will be done in a longer stitch length, to sandwich the quilt top, batting and backing layers for your own hand quilting or machine quilting. The long stitches can be easily removed as you progress in your quilting. No binding services will be provided (as quilting is not deem completed) when basting service is done. You may send the quilt for our binding services after your own quilting is completed.

b) finish binding by machine stitch (S$0.28 per inch)
c) finish binging by hand stitching (S$0.55 per inch)
