Custom Long Arm Quilting Services

Fiberworks is proud to offer custom long arm machine quilting services. Hand-guided long arm quilting is our specialty. Laura Heine's professional quilting has won numerous machine quilting awards. She takes pride in her workmanship while taking extra special care of your quilt while it is in our possession at our non-smoking, full-service retail location here in Billings, Montana.

Using our Gammill long arm quilting machines, Laura features quick turn around, reasonable prices, hundreds of pantograph designs, and over fifteen years of creative experience to draw from for free-motion motifs.

Simply ship your quilt and the backing to us and let us decide on the perfect design for your quilt. Let us know which quilting option you would like us to work from (see descriptions/rates below). Specify your batting choice — we have several cotton and poly–cotton blends to choose from (see below for descriptions/rates). Unless specified, we will choose the best thread combination from our vast collection of machine quilting threads. We carry numerous weights and colors in solid and variegated combinations.

Preparing Your Quilt for Machine Quilting

Please follow these important guidelines:

1. The backing and batting must be at least 4" larger than the quilt top around all four sides, or 8" total.
2. If your back is pieced, the selvages must be removed and the seams trimmed to 1/4" and pressed open.
3. Backing and batting must be square with straight edges.
4. Please, do not pin the layers together.
5. If your quilt will have scalloped edges, cut the scallops after the quilt is quilted.
6. Do not sew buttons or beads on the quilt top until after it is quilted. If your quilt comes to us with buttons or beads you run the risk of us cutting them off or the machine breaking them. It takes extra time to deal with them.
