Formula for Enlarging & Reducing Quilts
To enlarge: Say you want a 12" block and the current size block you have is
100 and you get 200. So your answer would look like this:
12 /6 =2 x100 = 200%
To reduce: If you have a 12" block and your wanting a 3" one you would
divide 3 by 12 and you would get .25. Now multiply .25 x 100 and here's your
calculated answer: 3/12=.25x100 = 25%

| * Have Backing cut at least 5 inches larger than your quilt top. * You must add filler strips to extend backing and if not large enough as per above. * Lay your quilt out on a flat surface and verify that the quilt (especially the borders) lay flat. (See fullness disclaimer) * Remove all excess loose threads. * Remove ALL pins, buttons and/or other embellishments. * Have quilt top and backing fabric completely pressed, making sure ALL seams are pressed flat. * Selvage edge of fabric should be removed from seams on backing. The selvage edge will shrink differently when laundered causing later puckering at the seam line. * Use one safety pin to mark the top of the quilt top. * Verify that all seams are complete and that no open seams and/or holes are present. |
To calculate the price of your quilting you will need to measure all four You will then take that figure and multiply it times .018. This will give you the total of the edge to edge quilting charge. REMEMBER this figure does not include batting, nor thread, only the quilting itself. Example: 54 x 60 = 3240 x .018 = $58.32 Pricing Subject to change: Quilting $ .018 per inch and up Sew Backing Sew on Binding $ 10.00 $ .10 per sq inch $ 10.00 Making and sewing on Binding $.15 per sq inch |
