Custom Quilting – Crafted Just for You!

Looking for a truly one-of-a-kind finish for your quilt? I specialize in hand-guided, custom quilting, meaning every stitch is unique—no computerized systems here. Your quilt deserves that extra-special touch, and I’m here to bring your vision to life.

What I Offer

I provide a range of custom quilting services, including:

  • Ruler Work – Perfect for precise, elegant designs.
  • Micro Quilting – Tiny, intricate stitching for incredible detail.
  • Feathers & More – Classic, flowing designs that add timeless beauty.

Because of the time and skill involved, these custom techniques take longer, but they create a breathtaking finish that’s truly worth it.

Getting Started

I’d love to chat about your quilt and ideas. If you’re in Birchleigh, Kempton Park, we can meet in person. If not, we can easily connect via WhatsApp video call. Need to ship your quilt to me? No worries—I can help arrange affordable courier options.

Pricing

  • All-over free-motion quilting (meander, all-over feather, etc.) – R300 per square meter
  • Custom quilting (ruler work, micro quilting, block motifs) – R600 per square meter

Example: A 1.2m x 2m quilt

(Smaller quilts under 2m² will have a R300 setup fee to cover the time needed to load the quilt.)

Preparing Your Quilt

To ensure the best results, please keep these in mind:

  • Backing fabric: Must be 4 inches bigger on all sides of your quilt top (e.g., for a 60” x 70” quilt, the backing should be 68” x 78”). A wide backing fabric is best, but if piecing, please press seams open.
  • Batting: I stock Loomtex batting if needed. Other batting must be supplied by you and must also be 4 inches larger on all sides.
  • Neatness matters. Trim loose threads and press your seams to prevent damage or unsightly thread shadows under light fabrics.
  • Quilt direction: Place a safety pin in the top center to indicate the correct orientation.
  • Stay stitch: A ¼-inch stay stitch around the edges helps prevent seams from coming undone or stretching during quilting.

Let’s make your quilt a masterpiece. Send me a message to get started—I look forward to working on your beautiful creation.
