Longarm Services

We are now taking new long arm customers. Please call 603.384.2557 to set up an appointment.

Luna's loyal long armers!

We wanted to find a way to thank all of our regular customers. For every 5 quilts completed with us, you will get FREE batting for the 6th quilt! We appreciate your continued business!

Welcome Home Stella!

Luna has been working so hard by herself for the last 18 months, we decided it was time to adopt another long arm! So, we are welcoming "Stella" to the Night Owl family.

She is also an HQ Forte and has a Prostitcher nestled on a 10' frame. Her size may be smaller than Luna, but her drive to finish your quilts is just as fierce!

Since we have acquired the 2nd machine, we have been able to reduce our turn around time to under 3 weeks! So, call or email us to make an appointment today to get your quilts finished up.

How to prepare your quilt for long arm

Thank you for trusting us to finish your quilt. We want you to be very satisfied with the finished results so we have compiled this list of things you can do before you bring us your quilt.

DON'T BASTE

That's right, you get to skip basting! Send your quilt top and backing without attaching them in any way.

INSPECT QUILT TOP

Give your quilt top a thorough inspection. If there are stains, let us know that you are aware of them. Trim away loose threads, which can get caught in the quilting becoming more difficult to remove. Check that seams are well-pressed to prevent them from rolling unattractively during the basting or quilting process.

Are the edges of your quilt top straight? Trim all four sides of the quilt straight so that it can be loaded properly on the longarm sewing machine. Square is even better, but straight will usually do!

OVERSIZE BACKING

We require a backing that is 6-8" larger than the quilt top both in width and height. For example, a 60" quilt top requires an 68" square backing. This 3-4" of excess backing all the way around the quilt allows the longarm sewing machine to "hold onto" the quilt while it sews.

SEND A FLAT BACKING

Most quilt tops aren't perfectly flat and square. That's ok, to make our job easier, send a flat backing. Juggling fullness in the backing and the quilt top all at once is tricky and can lead to tucks.

Consider sending a wide back fabric for your backing. If you compare cost for backing with 42" wide fabric vs. 108" wide fabric, the wide backs are generally cheaper too!

If you choose to piece backing, take time to sew those long seams carefully. Cut yardage straight and square before joining segments.

HAVE QUESTIONS?

Just ask! We are here to help. We have the same goal - a beautifully finished quilt!

Long arm refund/disclaimers

Longarm Service Refund Policy

1. Deposit of 50% is required at the time of consultation for all quilts for long arm services.

2. You will be notified by phone or email when your quilt is completed and the remaining balance will be due at the time of pick up.

3. We will place a courtesy call to you once a month, up to 3 times, for arrangements for you to pay for your quilt. If after 90 days you do not pick up/pay for your quilt, then it will become the property of Night Owl Quilting Studio.

4. All payments for long arm services are non-refundable.

Longarm Disclaimer

Fullness and/or puckers within a quilt top cannot be quilted out. We cannot guarantee that puckers and tucks won’t be sewn in. In some cases excessive fullness in borders may result in quilt top corners not being square. The flatter your quilt top is, the better the finish will be.

Mechanical Disclaimer

Please be aware that sewing machines, including longarm machines are mechanical devices. Although, we do our best to ensure perfect results every time, on very rare occasions mechanical problems may occur which may result in minor damage to a quilt top and/or backing.
