Longarm Information

Quilters Quest is fortunate to have a talented team of longarmers who are able to help you put the finishing touches on your quilts. We offer edge to edge quilting. Longarm Bob no longer does custom quilting.  We can also piece your back, trim it after it has been quilted, attach a sleeve or label, and/or bind it! 

Contact the store for more information.
(630)969-2205 or info@quiltersquest.com

With our upcoming move and everything that our team has to accomplish for the move, we might not meet the target date for your longarm quilt completion.  If we have agreed to longarm your quilt by a specific date, please, rest assured it will be done by that date.  If you have a quilt currently in the queue and now find you need it by a certain date, email us at info@quiltersquest.com to change the date.  We will email back confirmation of your request and we will get it accomplished for you.  Thank you for your understanding.
