How the Process Works

• Schedule your appointment to go through your shirts.  This will be done in person or via computer if you do not live in the DFW area

• Bring All clothing items you want included in your quilt to your appointment

• Your shirts will be transformed into a professional quilt!

• You will have input on fabric choices and quilting design as well, making this quilt custom for you

What is included in the price?
 
Once we have your shirts, I Told You Sew will:

• Stabilize each shirt to prevent stretching

• Create a custom quilt layout design to show off each of your shirts

• Provide Batting (the middle of the quilt)

• Provide Backing Fabric (you can choose the color)

• Professional longarm quilting

• Binding and Finishing

• Provide a finished quilt ready to enjoy

Pricing​

​
The average quilt is about 24-30 shirt sides: $600-$800
​

• $32 for Large images (any dimension over 16")

• $27 for Full size (both dimensions measure 7 or more) 

• $14 for Half size images (only one of the dimensions is smaller than 6)

• $7 for small graphics (both dimensions are smaller than 6)

• $6 each for patches to be added.  

• $30 for a solid 2 colored borders to be added.  Border colors are up to you!

• $45 for Minky/Cuddle back.  This will add a soft and fluffy backing to your quilt.  Minky does make the quilt very heavy and warm if you (or your recipient) are cold natured.

 
There is a $200 deposit due upon scheduling of your appointment.

Example of sample quilt cost:

Important prep work
​

• Please make sure clothing is clean/washed.  This includes new and never worn items, as they may bleed or warp the first time wash and we don't want this happening in your quilt!

• Do not use fabric softener as it can make the stabilizer not stick well to the shirts

• Please do not cut your shirts!  This is part of the process, and we are so happy to do this for you

• Sadly, there are some items that do not work well with tshirt quilts (the longarm gets a little cranky with these items)

• Denim or super thick material

• Shirts that have bling or metal aspects

• Anything not tolerant of heat used to stabilize the fabric such as tulle and some costumes

• Baseball caps

​
What works well?
​

• T-shirts, sweatshirts

• Baby Clothing (we remove the zipper as anything metal does not work well in the quilt)

• Patches

• Jerseys/Dry-wick shirts

• Sports uniforms-buttons will be removed and the shirt sewn together
