Welcome to KimQuilt. I'm located in St Marys area , NSW, Australia.
If you'd like to have your finished quilt top professionally longarm quilted by an award winning quilter,
contact noeleen.cw@gmail.com or call 0416251895
My name is Noeleen and I have a Gammill® longarm quilting machine with Statler computerized control. I specialize in edge to edge quilting. The patterns to choose from are endless with the Statler, you can select from a large number of pre-programmed patterns or if you really need a special pattern we can create new patterns as an additional service as well.
I charge by the area of the quilt top with very reasonable prices. The costs do vary by the difficulty of the quilting job. The lowest costs are for simple edge-to-edge patterns. Prices are $55 to $65 per square metre.
I don't supply batting or backing fabric.
I stock a wide range of threads so I can match your quilt for best results.
There is a minimum charge of $60 for the very smallest of jobs.
Preparing Your Quilt for Machine Quilting
Do not baste your quilt.
Backing and batting must be at least 10cm larger on all sides than the quilt top.
Iron your quilt top and backing for best results.
Longarm quilting is done very differently to other quilting methods. The quilt top, batting and backing are sandwiched by the quilting machine and must be provided as three separate pieces. There is no need to baste the quilt and in fact basting the quilt will require that it is unbasted before longarm quilting incurring extra time and cost. The size of the backing and batting must be at least 10cm larger on all sides than the quilt top. It is very important that the backing have two parallel sides for proper loading. The backing seams must be pressed to one side. Quilt top and backing must be ironed to ensure the best outcome.
I also provide binding and custom made quilts to order.

Sewing has been my passion for many years. Some years ago I was introduced to the world of patchwork and quilting. I learned free motion quilting- first on my domestic machine (an old Elna), then graduated to a long arm quilting machine on a 12 foot frame. I have loved creating quilts and then quilting them. I offer edge-to-edge quilting and also quilt repairs.
I also make memory quilts. When a loved one has passed on or is apart from you, a memory quilt, cushion or soft toy is a lovely way to remember them and feel close. These can be made from clothing items (including socks!) and put together creatively to tell a story of their lives and bring back memories. I would love to help create a memory quilt for you.
