Pricing depends on four things: the size of your quilt, the batting you choose, the density of the quilting design, and whether you want us to bind it. We don't believe in surprise invoices — every quote is reviewed with you on a personal phone call before we start any work.

See our pricing page for the full breakdown of how pricing works.

Our current lead time is updated daily on the homepage. Most quilts are completed in days, not weeks. Once your quilt is in our queue, we move quickly — and you'll always know exactly where it stands in the process.

The $25 deposit reserves your spot in our quilting queue and includes a personal consultation about your project. The full deposit is applied to your final quilting invoice — it isn't an additional fee.

Yes. Your $25 intake deposit is fully refundable until your quilt arrives at our studio — it simply reserves your place in our quilting queue. Once your quilt is here and we've started the consultation, the deposit is applied to your final invoice.

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, and Shop Pay through our checkout. Your final invoice is sent before your finished quilt is shipped back.

Both work. We're set up for mail-in service from anywhere in the U.S. with insured return shipping included. If you're local to the Twin Cities, you can drop your quilt off in person at our Chaska studio.

Drop-off hours are Monday through Friday, 10 AM to 2 PM, or by appointment. See contact details for the address and to schedule a time.

Your quilt is carefully handled the entire time it's with us in our Chaska studio. When your finished quilt is ready to come home, we use insured return shipping so you're covered door to door.

We can longarm quilts up to 100 inches wide. From baby and lap sizes through king-size projects, we've got you covered.

If your quilt is wider than 100 inches, get in touch through our contact page and we'll let you know what's possible.

Your backing fabric should be at least 4 to 6 inches larger than your quilt top on every side. So for a 60" × 80" quilt top, your backing should be at least 68" × 88" (preferably 72" × 92"). This extra fabric is what we use to load your quilt onto the longarm frame.

If you have questions about pieced backing or seaming a wide-back, mention it during intake — we'll walk you through it.

A few things to do before sending us your top:

• Press all seams flat (open or to one side — your preference)
• Trim any loose threads on both the front and back
• Make sure your top is square — corners at 90 degrees, no waving
• Mark the top edge with a safety pin or note so we know which way is up (especially for directional designs)

If you've never sent a quilt out before and aren't sure about something, ask us during your consultation — Julie and Laura have seen it all.

You can either send your own batting with your quilt top and backing, or choose from our batting options during the intake form. Pricing reflects whichever batting you select. Julie or Laura will confirm batting choice during your consultation call.

Yes — binding service is available for an additional fee. You can request it on the intake form, and we'll discuss the details (binding fabric, attachment style, hand-finish vs machine-finish) during your consultation call.

Edge-to-edge (E2E) uses one continuous design that repeats across the entire quilt — flowers, swirls, geometric patterns, holiday motifs. It's faster to complete, more affordable, and looks beautiful on most quilts.

Custom quilting uses different designs for different areas — a feathered border, stippling in the background, ditch-stitching along seams. It takes more time and costs more, but it's the right choice when the quilt design itself calls for emphasis in specific places.

If you're not sure which is right for your project, Julie or Laura will recommend one during your consultation based on your quilt top and your goals.

Density is one of the things that affects pricing. The general guide:

• Light density — softer, drapier finish. Good for snuggly quilts, throws, and bed quilts you want to feel cozy.
• Medium density — balanced look and feel. Most common choice.
• Dense quilting — flatter, more sculpted finish. Good for wall hangings, art quilts, or heavy-use quilts that need to hold up to washing.

We'll talk through what's right for your specific quilt during the consultation call.

Yes. We have a library of designs to choose from, or you can describe what you're looking for and we'll find the right pantograph. If you have a strong preference (e.g., "I want feathers throughout" or "nothing too floral"), let us know during the consultation.

Julie and Laura — the operators of GEasy Longarm Services. Every project gets personal attention from one of them. This isn't a high-volume assembly-line shop — your quilt isn't going through a faceless queue.

Our studio is at 125 Columbia Ct N Bay 8, Chaska, MN 55318. We're open Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 2 PM for drop-offs and pickups, or by appointment outside those hours.

If you're in the Minneapolis-St. Paul / Twin Cities metro and want to drop off in person, see our contact page for directions and to let us know you're coming.

GEasy Longarm Services is the longarm quilting arm of GE Designs, founded by Gudrun Erla — designer of the Stripology rulers and decades of quilt patterns sold worldwide. The longarm service exists because Gudrun was frustrated with the typical longarm experience: long waits, unclear pricing, anonymous shops. We built this to be different.

You'll hear from us by email and phone at the major checkpoints: when your quilt arrives, when we're starting the work, and when it ships back (or is ready for pickup). If you want an update between those, just reach out — we'd rather answer your question than have you wonder.
