Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT TYPE OF LONGARM SERVICES DO YOU PROVIDE?
-
At Looped Quilting, we do all-over computerized edge-to-edge quilting. This is when you select a design, and I load that design into the computer that controls my longarm machine. The machine then stitches the design at the scale we select.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO HAVE MY QUILT TOP LONGARM QUILTED?

Edge-to-edge computerized is $0.03 per square inch

Clip any stray threads or raveling fabrics.
