Add on Backing
Priority
If you would like to order your backing from us, choose this option and we'll add it to your order. Otherwise, be sure to include your backing with your quilt top.

Please Note:
  • Sending your own backing? It should be at least 4" larger than your top on all sides. For standard 42" width fabric, please sew your backing fabric together or purchase our back piecing services.
  • For binding services using minky/cuddle fabric for backing, please send or purchase coordinating cotton fabric for binding.
  • If you have purchased backing fabric in your shopping cart outside of this order form, contact customer service to avoid having it shipped to you.
  • We cannot guarantee that patterned fabric will be matched at seams when sewing backing fabric pieces together.
  • We make every attempt to center backing, but cannot guarantee that it will be perfectly centered after quilting due to shrinkage of the quilt top.
Select Backing

I'll include my own backing

Add on Trimming or Binding
Priority
When we return a quilt to you, we will leave the excess fabric on the edges unless you add on trimming. For an additional $10, we will neatly trim the edge of your quilt and return the excess fabric to you.

If you would also like us to bind your quilt, be sure to include the binding fabric. If no binding fabric is provided, we will use the fabric left over from the backing for the binding if there is enough. Machine stitched binding using a zig zag stitch is priced at ¢.25 per linear inch and hand stitched binding is priced at ¢.50 per linear inch.

Please Note:
We are unable to bind your quilt with minky, cuddle, or fleece fabric. Thank you for understanding.

What Do You Do With Unfinished Quilt Tops?

 

There are many ways to go about finishing your quilt, from old fashioned hand quilting and straight line machine quilting to free motion machine quilting and even sending in your quilt to be finished professionally with a long-arm machine quilting service. There are many quilt top stitching ideas out there. We can also help you learn how to finish a quilt with a sewing machine. But whichever method you choose, we want to help you feel confident in your decision. After all, there’s no wrong way to finish your quilt!

 

 

Hand Quilting

 

First off, let’s talk about hand quilting. It doesn’t require a sewing machine, but it does require some patience. The easiest method is to hand tie your quilt and Jenny’s here to show you how it’s done!

 

It’s fairly straightforward and requires a hand quilting needle and a frame or a large hoop. The best thread for hand quilting is either 100% cotton floss or perle cotton. Hand quilting stitches are traditionally small, but more recently, big stitches have been popular in modern quilting. Hand quilting stitch patterns for beginners can be helpful if you’re looking to create a particular design; we recommend trying these quilt stencils to help you get started.


 

Machine Quilting at Home

 

Next up, straight line quilting on your home machine is a popular way to finish your quilt. Some are still asking can I quilt with a regular sewing machine? Yes! Of course you can. It’s less challenging than attempting to free motion quilt at first and it doesn’t require too many adaptations to your machine, just a walking foot. Many beautiful straight line machine quilting designs can be found in Jacquie Gering’s popular books WALK and WALK 2.0 including many easy machine quilting designs for beginners. Learn more about quilting on a sewing machine with The Final Stitch with Natalie Earnheart. She’ll help you with machine quilting basics like machine quilting instructions for beginners, walking foot quilting patterns, stitch length for stitch in the ditch quilting, and much more.

 

Free Motion Quilting

 

Now it’s time to talk about free motion quilting. What does free motion quilting mean? It’s a type of quilting you can do on your home machine and it means that you move your quilt freely beneath the needle to create a unique quilted design. It’s not straight line quilting, it’s loops and swirls, and just about anything you can imagine! Now, it does require some specific things to help your free motion experience go well. Some might be wondering, can you free motion quilt with a regular foot? And the answer is no. You will need a special free motion presser foot. It has a spring inside that allows the foot to “hop” and move about freely above your quilt. You can follow along with Jenny in the video below as she demonstrates how to begin free motion quilting on a sewing machine. Learning how to free motion quilt on a regular sewing machine is just like riding a bicycle. It requires plenty of practice!

 

Edge-to-Edge Longarm Quilting

 

Finally, if you would prefer to hire someone to finish a quilt, that’s also completely fine! There are many options out there. You can take your quilt top to a local longarmer to have it finished, but if you don't have professional machine quilting services near you, you can send it in to Missouri Star and try our professional 5-star mail-in machine quilting services!

 

We have a team of passionate longarm quilters who are experts at using our state-of-the-art computerized quilting machines, also known as longarms. These machines are programmed with intricate edge to edge quilting designs to give your quilt the perfect finish. With hundreds of quilting motifs for machine quilting to choose from, your quilt will have a professional look you’ll love.

Long arm quilting pantographs can vary from a simple meander to detailed designs like lush florals, fall leaves, feathers, and designs for holidays and special occasions. No matter what you choose, our longarm quilting services are sure to leave you impressed.

 

Missouri Star’s amazing long arm quilters will treat your quilt with care from the moment it arrives to the final stitch. Our professional quilting service has been highly rated by hundreds of quilters who are happy with the final result. You can have confidence in our mail-in machine quilting services when you see the gallery of beautifully finished quilts. Longarm quilting is a time saver for you and eliminates the stress of quilting with a machine on your own. If you haven’t tried machine quilting services yet, there’s no time like the present.

The Cost of Professional Long Arm Quilting Services

 

Machine quilting is amazing, but how much does it cost to have a quilt machine quilted? At Missouri Star, all of our pricing includes batting and standard thread options. You can choose how quickly you’d like your quilt back, the complexity of your design, and also opt to include trimming and binding when you place your order.

 

If you’re not in a hurry, our value machine quilting option takes approximately 4 weeks from the time we receive your quilt to the time we ship it back to you (not including add-on binding services). Value machine quilting is a bargain at 3 cents a square inch!

 

If you would like your quilt back as soon as possible, we offer a priority machine quilting upgrade for just 5 cents per square inch. The wait time is 7 business days from the time we receive your quilt to the time we ship it back to you (please allow additional time for quilt binding services, if selected, and return shipping). So if you are looking for 2 week quilt finishing services, we recommend a Priority upgrade with your next order!

 

Once the machine quilting is finished, we can trim your quilt for you for an added $10, allowing you to finish the binding at home (don't worry, we'll return any extra backing fabric when we send back your order!). If you don't want to add your quilt's binding, don't worry! We offer hand stitched and machine stitched quilt binding options. Both are priced by the linear inch, with machine stitched binding (using a straight stitch) at 25 cents per linear inch and hand stitched quilt binding at 60 cents per linear inch.

 

How to Choose Machine Quilt Stitch Patterns & Thread

 

Choosing a beautiful machine quilting pattern is half the fun! We have over 100 computerized machine quilting designs including cute animal patterns from butterflies to birds, classic long arm quilting machine patterns like elegant swirls, brocade, feathers, and paisley, modern stipples, squares, and loops, and holiday quilting designs for Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, the 4th of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas! There’s so many machine quilt stitch patterns to choose from to make your quilt design truly shine.

 

 

Preparing Your Quilt for Mail-In Quilting

 

When you send in your quilt to be machine quilted, be sure to include the backing of your choice that’s at least 8” wider than your quilt top on all sides so it can easily work with long-arm machine quilting. You can also order your backing along with your machine quilting order.

 

Check out our selection of 108” wide machine quilting fabric at Missouri Star so your quilt has a smooth finishing touch without any seams on the back. And guess what? Our standard 80/20 Hobbs Batting is included with your machine quilting order for free!

*please add 2-3 weeks for binding services; Priority orders will be received back in 2 weeks from the date received in Hamilton, not including additional time for binding services.

Worth it!

It is always scary to put something you have worked so hard on in the mail and pray that it gets returned to you. I've sent nine items to MSQC to have them quilted, and I have loved every piece except one. I usually let the experts pick out the pattern and thread color; I trust them to do that. However, one particular item was a country table topper for my kitchen table, and for some reason, they thought snowflakes would be the best pattern for it; the backing fabric is Lori Holt's chickens. I can't be but so upset as I told them to choose, but I also can't figure out how they came up with snowflakes. Also, I paid to have the item trimmed on the large quilt. Wow, that was nice! I will do that to all of them moving forward!

Novice quilter

How do you turn the imperfections of a novice quilter's first quilt into something that looks totally amazing, send it to MSQC and have their professional longarmers quilt it for you. You will be shocked and amazed how beautiful your project turns out, like I was.

I will definitely use them again.
