Millie’s Quilts is an affordable, professional long arm machine quilting service specializing in hand-guided, allover edge-to-edge (Pantograph) designs and limited custom quilting.  We are located in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and serve customers in the area directly and all over the world by mail.  We have chosen not to offer computerized quilting, because we prefer the craftsman aspect of the process.  Hand-quided quilting will result in slight variations, giving it a hand-crafted result as opposed to a mass-produced, “cookie cutter” look.

We offer the following services:

·         All-over (Pantograph) designs by free hand

·         Machine basting for hand quilting

·         Custom quilting options, including allover meandering, loops and waves, outlining using circles, arcs and swirls. 

·         Supply of fabrics, backing and batting, and a complete line of quilting and sewing notions and tools. 

·         Custom patchwork quilts made to order.  Prices for custom-made quilts vary depending on size of quilt and complexity of design.

·         Custom quilt design using the Electric Quilt software.  We can show you how a quilt pattern will look in many different fabric and color combinations before you make your quilt.

·         Choice of a complete line of Superior thread to match or contrast with your quilt

Once work has begun on your quilt, any changes made by you will be made at your additional expense. You will be charged for the time spent to prepare the quilt for the changes that you are requesting. There is a $40/hr charge for preparing your quilt for your changes, including removal of any or all of the stitching that has already been put into your quilt.

The estimated costs listed on the front of your estimate will be re-calculated to reflect the time it takes to prepare your quilt for the changes and the cost of the changes you are requesting.

Guarantee:

Many people are under the impression that Longarm quilting is an “exact” art. In fact, the machine is hand-guided by me; even when under computer control, minor variations will occur due to changes in fabric, seams, piecing variations, etc. Please understand that quilting is not “perfect”; as such, it enhances the “hand made” look that we all cherish in our quilts.

I guarantee the quality of the quilting that I do for you, my valued customer. The terms of the guaranty are as follows:

·         If there is a problem with the quilt for which I am responsible, you must let me know within 72 hours of when I return it to you.

·         I will use every reasonable means at my disposal to make it right. If that is not feasible, Millie’s Quilts will issue a credit for the cost of quilting labor only.

·         Batting, backing, binding, and thread charges will not be included in the credit. The credit is the maximum liability of Millie’s Quilts, and this guarantee supersedes any and all guaranties implied by law, including the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. The credit is redeemable for ninety (90) days from the issue date @ http://shorelinehandwerks.com.
