Longarm Tuesday - How much to make this quilt? 

Personally I loved the whole episode and always wanted to quilt a quilt… I am a quilter but have never done long stem and would absolutely love to learn and to do it

You make an excellent video with lots of important points that confirm I'm not going to become a long armer myself but would value the expertise of any service provider who does this amazing work l. For now I'm making small projects

I liked that you told the prices of each thing as you went along. I also appreciated at the end, providing the actual price of making the entire quilt. People that don't know anything about sewing or quilting are usually shocked by the price that I give as an approximated value. They don't realize everything that goes into making it nor the prices of fabric and thread and lastly our time. This is really valuable information! Thank you!

Hello!! This is my 1st time on your channel!! Within 5 minutes (actually 3-4 min), I was blown away at your very diversified skill set & talent! You are an amazingly logical, organized, efficient, & accomplished woman! I have never quilted anything, but I love & very much appreciate what it takes to make quilts or anything by hand! And, I’m always happy to pay the asking price of beautiful handmade items -- because I do know what it takes & I appreciate the time, design, & materials required!! I come from an extremely talented group of women in my family, I sew simple items, love to do hand embroidery & have tried numerous crafts like beading vintage looking items, crochet, knitting, painting, etc. Thank you for this amazing video!! Also, the fact that you 3D tools you use, says a lot about you… you’re a rare talented person👏

I loved this video. I also love all the 3d printed supplies, especially the bobbin clips and binding clips!

This is very true but you also have to keep in mind what it is costing for quilting in your area. I don’t do a lot of quilting for others so my price may be too high or too low depending on what the area pricing is. I know Missouri Star quilt company charges .03 cents a sq inch which is way more than other longarmers in my area. Though I would like to know what others are charging.

Glad it was helpful!

Awe that was very sweet! Made my day! Most of the time I feel very inadequate because I will forget how to do something then end up doing it the hard way first.

I know I get that also! It really surprised me how much it actually cost. Most of the time I don’t think about it because it is a little here and a little there.

Thank you so much!

New one coming out today! At 5:00 mountain time

Thank you very much!

Awe thank you very much! I used to fret about every aspect but now I am ok with imperfection! Lol!

It is only worth what you can sell it for unfortunately. Thank you for watching!

And without the computerized quilting machine and doing it free hand it takes more time. We are selling ourselves short. 😂

We usually have a lot more money in them than we realize. Not sure someone would pay that to buy it though. I was surprised at the cost of the simple quilt.

Thank you very much! I have a new one planned that will come out next week or the week after.

You are so welcome!

Thank you!

Not really. Joann’s for backing usually because I am trying to save money but the rest are from the local quilt store. Everything has gone up so much it is crazy!

Thank you very much. No I have never took any classes with Gammill. Trial and error and RU-vid videos help.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Welcome to your new adventure. I was a garment sewer for many years. You are going to love longarming.

Yes even when you give a quilt to someone, they don’t have any idea how much it cost or how much time you put into it. I know some of mine that I gave to family ended up as picnic quilts to my horror!

Thank you! 😊

Your welcome!

I am so glad to hear you liked it!

Thank you so much!

Glad it was helpful!

Glad you enjoyed it!

It surprised me also!

Thank you very much!

Thank You!

I tried to make it interesting. Thanks Mona!

Awe thank you!❤️

Thank you! 😊

Awe!❤️❤️❤️made my day!

Awe thanks Bev. You know I would send you whatever you want. Email me.

Glad it was helpful!

Yes, definitely could have. I did end up with enough though and some to spare.

I don’t currently sell them. Send me an email at dcclutter@outlook.com with your address and I will send you a couple.

You can see most of the stuff I designed on Makerworld. makerworld.com/en/@dclutter. Send me an email at dcclutter@outlook.com if you want something printed. I don't have everything on makerworld yet.

Thanks for commenting! ❤️ The time it took was 10 hours to piece. I put it in the video at $25.00 hour but it was separated. I didn’t add it into the overall cost because it can be subjective. I don’t quilt for others often so I could be low. I guess it depends on where you live. I am sure there could be a whole debate on pricing lol! This was such a simple quilt compared to what I usually make. I was surprised at the cost also! I hope you watch my next one. It will be different.

@@dclutterquilting I liked all your 3d stuff too.

Send me and email at dcclutter@outlook.com. Tell me what color and your address. I will make you one.

Hi Sue! I am Rapid City SD. I would gladly help if you were close!

The machine was $35,000 when I bought it. They are almost 50,000 now for the same machine. I am still learning. I have been doing longarming for 10 years. But I don’t do it all the time. So sometimes I have to get back in the hang of it. I forget how to do something and remember when I am almost done doing it the hard way! Lol

I only have my bobbin clips on printables. That is only because it takes a lot of time to manage just one place. You can find them on Makerworld. makerworld.com/en/models/473718#profileId-383877 . You will have to have the bambu slicer / prusa or orca slicer to open the file. Then you can convert it into a .stl from the slicer.

You can send me an email. Dcclutter@outlook.com. Tell me what color and it is 10 shipping and 5 for the box. Yes I make them.

It is washable clear glue like Joann’s brand or Elmer’s. It is only temporary until I get it sewn down.

@@dclutterquilting yes, I didn’t think it was permanent☺️. It would be a tragedy if it weren’t sewn down .

lol I didn’t think you did, but you never know if someone else might! Haha! Though it would make binding easier!

@@dclutterquilting 😎

Send me an email at dcclutter@outlook.com and tell me what color you like and how many. Longarm bobbin clips or class 15 or Bernina?

Love your bobbin winder. Did it come with your Gamill? Great idea with the scissors as well.

So I don’t have them for sell. Still trying to decide if that is what I want to do. Email me at dcclutter@outlook.com and let me know how many you would like and what color and I will get back to you.

It is a clear water solvable glue. Joann’s brand or Elmer’s.

I have a Gammill 26” Statler stitcher. They have went up a lot in price. You can go to Gammill.com to see the prices. How much for the whole setup? Yikes that is a lot of extras that I bought or made a little at a time. My husband built the light bar. Ruler base, quick change feet, casters, zipper leaders and rulers are all extra! Start with what you can afford. It is as costly as buying a new car.

@@dclutterquilting yeah thank you I will check it out and for sure gather things over time

Thank you. I will check it out.

Well I am not sure. Mine was 35,000.00. I have had it 6 years but I had another one before that. So if you add all the quilts I have done in the last 10 years, which is about 300, then it would be 45,00.00 at $150.00 each. But I have quilted some for others so I did make some money from my machine. It is still a large investment.

Well if you were near rapid city SD I would invite you over!
