TURNAROUND ON EDGE TO EDGE PANTOGRAPH QUILTING IS 3 WEEKS.

MY CURRENT TURNAROUND TIME FOR CUSTOM QUILTING IS 4 MONTHS. 

Please do not ask me to make an exception for your quilt at this time. I have had a hard time keeping up due to issues I am dealing with in my personal life. Please respect my time and understand that any "rush" you may have just makes me have to put more hours into my already filled up schedule. The only "RUSH" quilting that will be accepted is for edge to edge pantograph quilting ONLY.

******IMPORTANT UPDATE*******

I have changed my studio location. If you are mailing quilts, please use the address to the left. It is a UPS mailbox which will be safer for both of us. 

If you would like to drop off a quilt to me, please meet me at QUILTZ (32nd st. and Thunderbird) on Tuesday evenings from 5:30-7:30.  Please fill out a "quilting request form" with every quilt.

Hello, and thank you for visiting my website. My name is Jessica Brunnemer and I have been quilting professionally since 2002 and have personally quilted over 4,000 customer quilts. My mother, DeLoa Jones, had been a quilter all my life and I would make quilts with her as I was growing up. While on hiatus from studying art at Central Michigan University, I fell in love with longarm quilting and I haven't stopped since.

I am located in beautiful Phoenix Arizona. Since quilting is my full time job, I am able to keep my turnaround time fairly short and I can focus all of my attention on your quilt to give you the best possible result. I have several hundred samples of my quilting on the "quilts" link on the left. These are all customer quilts I have done in the past. We have recently added another machine equipped with a computerized quilting system. I have been very happy with all of the results I have seen so far and it has been nice having that extra helping hand. 

I have been blessed to have the opportunity to teach with and learn from some of the best teachers in the industry. Over the past few years I have taught machine quilting at Deloa’s Quilt Camp at Camp Mowana and have brought machines to Quilter’s Corner in Clinton Twp., Michigan. And I have also taught at “Quilting with Machines” for the Ohio Longarm Quilters. I really love teaching and I look forward to teaching in the Phoenix and national arena.

 

Pricing:

I charge by the square inch. To find the price for the quilting, measure your quilt's length and width in inches and follow this model:

Length x Width x Rate.

Example: 90 x 70 x .02 = 126.00

Sometimes prices may be higher than listed if an extensive amount of quilting time is required.

All over stippling: .015/sq. inch (Minimum: $30)

Edge to Edge stippling (puzzle piece meandering) only

Edge to Edge Pantograph: .02/sq. inch .(Min. $40)

All pantographs are done on our computerized machine. There are hundreds of patterns available for almost every theme or look you want to accomplish.  If you would like the pantograph with customized borders there is a $10 per border charge.

Custom: .025 - .045/sq. inch (Min. $50)

Block design, stenciling, crosshatching, stitch in the ditch, feathering etc. My freehand custom work consists of classic quilting designs customized for your quilt. We also have many computerized motifs and borders to choose from to match your themes.

Heirloom: call to discuss

Note: To help save money on minimum quilting costs, I give a small discount if you keep more than one quilt on the same backing.  This works for table runners and wall hanging type of quilts only.

Batting: I carry Hobbs heirloom 80/20 at $8.00/yd.

Thread: Thread is included in the price of the quilting. Extra charges may apply with specialty threads used on the backing

Backing: $10 per seam (I HIGHLY recommend you piece your own backings...I unintentionally tend to put off quilts I need to prepare before I load them on the machine).

DO NOT USE SHEETS AS BACKING

I only accept Minkee for backing under certain circumstances. Please call to discuss when using Minkee.

Pressing: I rarely need to press quilts or backings but if your quilt comes to me balled up and wrinkled, it will cost you $15 :)

Trimming: $10 By request only. I typically trim to the edge of the quilt top. If you need some extra room for binding, please specify how close you would like the backing and batting trimmed

Binding: I charge by the linear inch. I only do straight edge binding with mitered corners. If you would like your binding cut on the bias, please let me know ahead of time.

To find the price for binding, follow this model: Length(2) + Width(2) x rate (ex. 70+70+90+90 x .20 = 64.00)

  • If your binding is NOT prepared: .20/linear inch

  • If your binding is prepared: .15/linear inch

  • If you would like it trimmed and machine stitched to the top only: .10/linear inch

    Helpful Hints:

    Your quilt is important to me. In order to guarantee the highest quality and satisfaction in the finished product, please consider the following as you prepare your quilt for quilting:
  • Make sure your seams are well pressed. Top and back should be flat and well pressed.
    (Press seams open on the back fabric)
  • If the quilt has a top and bottom, please mark them.
  • Make sure your backing is at least 4-6" bigger on all sides.
    If you are providing the batting, it should also be at least 4" bigger on all sides than the quilt top.
  • When choosing a back fabric, keep in mind the thread color that you are going to want for the top.
    Light colored thread on a dark back or dark colored thread on a light back will create a major contrast.
  • Ripples in the borders will not "quilt out" so be sure you measure them carefully.
  • Please do not bring sheets for back fabric. It causes too many thread breaks.
  • Note: The denser the quilting design the more your quilt will "shrink" during the quilting process.

Shipping

  • I have done many quilts through the mail and I prefer to use UPS. I have never had any problems with them and I am able to EASILY track packages and provide the tracking codes to you as well.

  • Call or email me to let me know when your quilt is being shipped.
  • Please include a note with your quilt letting me know all of your information and any specifics on the quilt.
    I will email or call you upon receipt and discuss ideas.
  • If I am providing your batting, please make sure your box is big enough for me to return your quilt in.
  • Please don't pack with styrofoam nuts or packing materials that fly all over when
    I take your quilts out of the box. :) Air cushion bags or crumpled up paper work best.


  • UPS provides $100.00 worth of insurance automatically with your packages.If you would like me to insure it for more than that, please let me know.
  • Please let me know if you would like for me to have your packages signed for on delivery.

Payment

  • Deposits are welcome but not required.
  • Sometimes quilts have unexpected problems so I never know exactly how much the pricing will be until I am working on the quilt, so I will contact you while your quilt is in progress to let you know your billing.
  • Quilts are not released until payment is made.
  • If you would like to pay with a credit card, just click on the "Pay Now" button below and you will be taken to PayPal where you can enter your total. You do not need a PayPal account to use this option.
