Longarm Quilting Services
Quilters Quest currently has a longarm setup of 5 longarm quilting machines, a dry cleaner conveyor system which can hold 460 quilts with garment bags to keep your quilts clean and organized, 150 different choices of threads, and close to 30,000 different digital designs available! QQ also has an additional two longarms for customers to rent and practice their own longarm quilting skills!
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!

If you do not have a specific pick up date in mind, we are targeting (not a promise) a turnaround of 5 weeks out for unbound quilts and 6 weeks for quilts with binding.

Design Selection
We have uploaded some of our more popular designs so that you can look through them for inspiration before dropping off your quilt. When you fill out your Longarm Intake Form, please include the full name of the design you have chosen. If you have a digital design in mind that you have seen on a designer's internet site and you don't see the design you want here, Longarm Bob will pay for and download that design from the designer's site to use for your quilt at no expense to you.
