Measuring Your
Quilt
Backing and Batting
Measurements:
***Example: a 94" x 94" quilt top needs a
backing and batting that measure 100" x 100"
Calculating the cost of quilting:
Multiply the length times the width of your quilt top to get
square inches. Multiply square inches times the cost of the
quilting service you desire.
***Example:
Your quilt top is 94" x
94".
You want an all over
pantograph which is .01 per sq. inch.
94 X 94 = 8836 sq. in.
8836 x .01 = $88.36 + tax
Calculating the cost of binding:
Your quilt top measures
80" x 100"
You want me to machine sew the
binding to the front of your quilt, you will finish at home:
Width
= 80" x 2 = 160"
Length=
100" x 2 = 200"
**
360" x .10 = $36.00 |
