QUILTING - There are usually 2 - 4 inches of shrinkage (width and length) from before to after quilting. The price for quilting is the size of your quilt top before quilting. All quilts will be returned trimmed even with the quilt top unless the customer requests to have their quilt returned untrimmed.
Large overall meandering – .019 per sq inch This is used for quilts where you don’t want to spend a lot of money on the quilting BUT you still want a nice looking quilt. Really works great on “busy” quilts where the quilting doesn’t really show. If separate designs are quilted in the borders, custom quilting rates apply.
Designer overall designs - .022 per sq inch – Tell me what you want; I probably can come up with it! Also great on “busy” quilts but just a step above. If separate designs are quilted in the borders, custom quilting rates apply.
Custom quilting - .0275 per sq inch - This is the category of most quilts. It includes outline quilting and stitch in the ditch for stabilizing, a design in empty blocks and freehand quilting. Custom quilting includes quilting in the borders. This is the category I am famous for!
Heirloom quilting - .03 and up per sq inch - This is more intensive quilting with a lot of stitch in the ditch, stencils or patterns. It also includes more complicated patterns and crosshatching. This may include a background filler.
Quilts with a lot of applique also fall into this category.
BATTING –The following types of batting are available:
Thin polyester - $8.00 linear yard
Warm and Natural 50/50 or Hobb's 80/20 - $10.75 linear yard
Quilter’s Dream Poly-Select Black- $10.75 linear yard (This batting is a must in those dark quilts. Quilts up beautifully!)

Backing – I would be happy to provide the perfect backing for your quilt. I have white-on-white and different tan tones on hand at all times. I also hand dye A LOT of custom backings for quilts. I offer a huge price break on hand dyed backings for quilts that are quilted at Quilts by Barb. Please ask for details and pricing.
BINDING is available. Customer furnishes about 1 yard of material to match their quilt. This binding is double folded straight of grain binding that is hand stitched to the quilt back with mitered corners. The charge is $1.85 per linear foot.
BIAS BINDING is also available. The charge is $3.70 per linear foot.
SHIPPING CHARGE - $15.00 per order shipped. This is the approximate cost for UPS shipping and insurance for one quilt. If I return more than one in one shipment, the cost is still $15.00
