Pantograph – A hand guided, all-over quilt pattern, such as vines, flowers, clouds, or abstract figures.
Pantograph I – A hand guided, all-over quilt pattern, with large, well-spaced stitching, edge to edge, ignoring seam, block and border lines; most economical.
Pantographs II – A hand guided, all-over Designer pattern, with closer, more intricate, detailed stitching.
Freehand – A hand guided freeform all-over design that uses no pattern, as in large meandering loops, stars, hears, leaves, words, etc. One freehand border in included at no charge.
Custom – Stitch in the ditch, individual block motifs, wide cross-hatching. One border treatment is included at no charge. A Sampler quilt, with its sashings and blocks treated individually would be an example of this category.
Heirloom – As custom, but with fine stippling, fine cross-hatching, echo quilting around appliqués, elaborate feathers. One border treatment is included at no charge.
Trapunto – Adding an extra layer of batting to motifs, to make them more pronounced. Very labor intensive, but absolutely worth the effort!
Additional Borders – Except for the 1 st borders included with the Freehand, custom and Heirloom categories, this means any additional borders that you may wish to have treated separately from the rest of the top or other borders.
Prep. Work – Any pressing of extremely wrinkled tops or backs; any piecing of backs; any squaring up of tops or backs; any trimming of wayward threads on the back of your pieced top – they can give a varicose vein-look to the finished quilt.
