Longarm Services

Longarm quilting in Fallston, Maryland

Bring us your quilt top.
We will do the rest.

Hello! I am Gloria, your longarm quilter here at Glory Bee’s. I will talk with you about the color and the design, so that your quilt is finished the way you would like it.

In our studio we turn finished quilt tops into beautiful quilts, using quality materials and lovely stitching. Bring us a T-shirt quilt top, a memory quilt top, or any pieced top, and we will quilt it for you.

How it works

  1. Bring us your finished top

    Piece your quilt top and backing at home, press them well, and bring them in. The checklist below covers everything we need.

  2. Gloria quilts it

    On our longarm machine. Gloria will talk with you about the color and the design so that it suits your quilt.

  3. Collect your quilt

    We will give you a call as soon as it is off the frame and ready for you to pick up.

One thing worth saying plainly: we quilt finished tops, we do not piece or build the quilt for you. If you would like to make your own T-shirt quilt, Gloria teaches a class on it, so ask us when the next one is scheduled.

What it costs

Quilting is 2.5 cents per square inch of your quilt top. We price from your actual measurements, so your quilt does not have to match a standard size.

Preparing your quilt for the longarm

A little preparation makes a real difference to the finished quilt. Here is what we ask.

Pressing a pieced quilt top flat with an iron on an ironing board.

Your quilt top

  1. Press your quilt from the back, making sure all of the seams are as flat as possible.
  2. Check seams for any missed stitches.
  3. Trim loose threads.
  4. Measure your quilt on a diagonal from corner to corner to make sure it is square. Both measurements should be equal.

Your quilt backing

  1. Press to remove any heavy wrinkles.
  2. Always include an extra 4 inches on all four sides, increasing the length and width by 8 inches. This is needed to help stabilize your top while it is on the frame.

In short: backing should be 8 inches wider and 8 inches longer than your top.

Ready when you are

Many years of experience, and a real commitment to quality workmanship. Bring your top in and let us give your quilt a finish you will love.
