CUSTOMISED & custom QUILTING
Most edge to edge designs can be customised to include text such as a name or special message.
Custom Quilting is when different quilting designs are used in sections of the quilt. For example, each quilt block is individually quilted, applique outlined, or the border has a separate quilting design. Prices for custom quilting vary and are quoted during the design process.
