  • Machine quilted on a frame – the needle is moved over the stationary quilt (such as a long-arm machine)
  • Machine quilted without a frame – the quilt is moved under the stationary needle (such as a domestic machine or mid-arm that is not on a frame)

Fees

$30 per entry for up to three quilts — you may enter as many quilts as you would like.
