 Long Arm Quilting

A quilt is three layers of fabric conjoined, usually by thread, and the edges are bound.

Long Arm Quilting

Long Arm Quilting (LAQ) is the assembly of a quilt, utilizing a sewing machine that is moves over the layers, versus the layers being moved underneath the needle.

Our LAQ services are provided by a quilter guided machine. 

Key Benefits

bulletProfessional quilting services adds value to your hard work and increases the quilt life. 
bulletFabrics are secured together with many stitches thereby increasing the usability of the quilt. Whether this quilt is drug across the ground by a child or washed in a washing machine,  LAQ virtually eliminates batting bunching, commonly seen in tied quilts after washing.
bulletTraditional and custom patterns can be quilted to increase the interest and value of the quilt.
bulletLess stress is placed on the quilts seams as it is not pushed and pulled under the sewing machine, rather the machine glides over the top of the quilt.

Types of LAQ Services Available

Basting Services

These services are provided to those persons wishing to hand quilt their tops.  The advantage to LAQ basting is that the fabrics can be sandwiched together without wrinkles or pinches and then returned to you for the quilting.  This service is a way to ease the stress of ensuring large quilts are sandwiched together evenly, without tucks and puckers.

Edge to Edge Services

These are quilting services that allow the customer to choose a pattern which will be stitched from edge to edge on the quilt.  This form of quilting is similar to what you would get on a purchased comforter or quilt.  It provides a method of securing the three layers together with patterned stitches.

Custom Quilting

These are quilting services that are unique to each quilt. The patterns and designs are chosen based on the individual quilt top and proposed quilt uses.   This is the only type of quilting that can be sought for tops with embellishments.  Custom quilting services can include various thread changes to add artistic characteristics to the quilt.
