Estimating the Cost of Machine Quilting

To determine an approximate cost of the machine quilting process you can use the following formula.

• Measure the length and width of the quilt top in inches
• Multiply the length by the width
• Divide by 144, this gives the quilt area in square feet
• Multiply the area by the rate per sq foot, add any additional costs (ie borders, loading etc) to get an approximate cost.

For example, a quilt measuring 70 x 70 would be as follows:

 70 x 70 = 4900 ÷144 = 34.02 square feet

The cost for quilting in a continuous line pattern at $3.30 per foot x 34.02 would cost $112.29.
