Katy’s Kwilts
Quilting Service and Supplies

 

If you answer “yes” to any of the following:

  • Do you have quilt tops waiting to be quilted?
  • Do you like to piece tops but don’t relish quilting?
  • Do you find it too heavy to manage your quilt on a domestic machine?
  • Do you like to hand quilt but haven’t the space to sandwich the three layers together?

then I can help you!

I use a ‘Gammill longarm quilting machine’ to take all the strain of the heavy weight of the top, wadding and backing enabling me to quilt any size up to 120" wide and any length. The stitch regulated machine keeps the stitches the same length.

Quilting Service:

Pantograph edge to edge quilting - the pattern is quilted from side to side over the whole quilt. You choose the pattern from the ones I have and then personalise it further by choosing from a wide variety of threads either solid or variegated colours. (thread included in price).

Tacking - If you prefer to hand quilt then I can tack your quilt, wadding and backing together ready for you to stitch - taking all the back ache out of trying to pin it together on the floor.

Supplies

Thread - I now stock YLI quilting thread in solid and variagated colours.
