The $75 Minimum

Every quilting order has a $75 minimum fee to cover setup and small-project viability. If your calculated quilting (area x rate + handling + thread + blocks) is under $75, we charge $75. This ensures fair pricing for baby quilts, table runners, or simple basting.

Ways to Keep Cost Down

  • Provide your own batting, thread, and backing to avoid supply fees.
  • Choose edge-to-edge ($0.02750/sq-in) over custom ($0.09000/sq-in).
  • Skip rush ($60) and special borders/add-ons.
  • Handle your own binding prep and application.
  • Minimize blocks and thread changes ($5 each).
  • Opt for basic Hobbs 80/20 batting ($0.0035/sq-in) if buying.
  • Keep quilt under 90×100 to lower area-based costs.
