Machine Quilting Terms
Basting
This is done at 4 inch intervals to secure the layers together in preparation of hand quilting.
Edge to Edge
A continuous line design that covers the entire quilt. The quilting can be done densely or spaciously depending on the design choice. This is a subtle, economical and effective means of quilting.
Edge to Edge with one border
This service is the same as above and includes a second pattern on the borders.
Stippling/Meandering
An overall random pattern which can vary in size and density depending on the quilt and customer preference. This can be done on the entire quilt or to enhance specific areas.
Custom Quilting
Anything which cannot be considered to be edge to edge. This includes using various quilting designs such as echoing, “stitch-in-the ditch”, block designs, pantographs, motifs, border or sashing designs, outlining appliqué or a combination of designs or patterns. Each custom quilt is individually priced depending on the amount of work required.
Whole Cloth
This can use any or all of the above services done on a non pieced quilt top. This is often used by decorators to coordinate a room design or to make an heirloom quilt.
