Professional Longarm Quilting Service
Quilt Finishing Services
If you are like most quilters, you love to piece those quilt tops but are then faced with the dilemma of how to handle that large quilt in a small home sewing machine.? Hand quilting is one option but that is going to take months and you just don't have that kind of time.
We love quilts, we love to see what you are working on. We have several quilt shops in the Houston area, so we see a variety of quilts. However, my favorite quilt tops come from other areas of the country where the quilt shops have new and different ideas and offerings than what we have locally. I have a 'regular' quilter that lives in the Atlanta area. I 'know' that there are lots of quilters in that area, but she still sends all of her quilts to me. That is a huge responsibility that I take very seriously, and always strive to give her the best job I can.

Patterns
We use the IntelliQuilter computer system and have hundreds of patterns (pantographs) on file. If you have seen a pattern that you like, just let us know where you found it. We probably already have or something similar. Listed below are several .jpg files or click on the pdf file (pretty large file) with several popular patterns. Mostly, the patterns fall under the $.02 rate.

Batting
You are welcome to provide your own batting. We generally use Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 and is priced at .29 linear inch. It is 98" wide, so generally the measurement is the 'short' side of your quilt. We only charge for what we cut.
Thread
Thread of choice is Omni Quilters thread. We have many other threads in stock, but all are eventually being replaced by Omni.
Backing
Generally you will provide, but we can certainly find a suitable backing from over 800 bolts of fabric in house. We do NOT stock 108" backings, as there is usually so much waste. If you buy the backing from us, we do all the prep (back seam and ironing) at no additional charge.
Binding
We can do it - or not. We only apply binding by machine. However, if you want to do the final whipstitch by hand, let us know and we can apply the first seam by machine to the top of the quilt. Price varies depending on what level of service we provide.
Turn Around Time
Count on six weeks. That is not always the case, but as we are also doing t-shirt quilts, our schedule fluctuates during peak seasons of t-shirt quilts (Christmas and Graduation). When you contact us, let us know your needs. We can usually work around things. Beware the quilter that promises a 7-day turnaround time on a regular basis. It means that they don't have much work, and probably are not very experienced.
If you need it in a real hurry, let us know, we have an Expedite Fee that puts you at the top of the queue.
Return Shipping
$30 covers normal shipping. However shipping cost may be increased due to weight and/or shipping location (i.e. 12 lbs to California would definitly be extra).
T-Shirt Quilts of Texas offers long-arm machine quilting, t-shirt quilts, quilt binding, labels, and completed quilts for purchase.
