Threads & Patterns

All threads that we use are 100% cotton and included within the quilting price. We do offer complex and dense quilting - for this type of quilting we would discuss all your requirements before giving a quote.

We have hundreds of quilting patterns and are able to source patterns if you have a particular theme in mind. All our patterns can be enlarged or made smaller to suit your quilt top so don't be put off by dense looking patterns as we can change the size! Click here to view a selection of our patterns.

Binding Your Quilt

We are very happy to help you with your binding and we offer a 2½in double fold straight of grain binding with mitred corners. We can either machine sew your binding to the quilt top for you to hand finish, or we can hand finish your binding for you. If you wish to use this service just let us know and we will be happy to give you a quote.

To find out how much fabric you need just do this simple calculation.

♥ Add up the four sides of the quilt (in inches) plus a further 12 inches to allow for joining and corners.

♥ Divide the total by 42 which will give you the number of strips you need to cut.

♥ Multiply by 2.5 to give you the total amount of fabric you need in inches.

For example if a quilt measures 70in x 90in.

70 + 70 + 90 + 90 + 12 = 332 inches.

332 / 42 = 7.9

7.9 * 2.5 = 19.75 inches (50 cms)

Quilt Preparation Check List

♥ There is no need to baste your quilt.

♥Trim any loose threads so darker threads won't show under light fabric.

♥ Your backing and wadding need to be at least 4in larger on all sides.

♥ Trim any selvedges and press open seams on backing joins.

♥ It is fine to leave the selvedges on outer edges of backings.

♥ Square up your backing.

♥ If your quilt is directional, pin a note indicating the top end.

♥ Have your quilt insured if you are posting it.

♥ If you are visiting, please phone first to book an appointment.

A little bit about our Gammill Statler Stitcher

We were the first shop in the UK to own a Gammill Statler Stitcher and we've never looked back! Our longarm quilting service is now firmly established and an integral part of The Quilt Room. We have what is called a Gammill Statler Stitcher and this means our longarm quilting machine has a unique combination of a Gammill sewing head and a computer and software program, invented and developed by Paul Statler. This means that the machine is computer guided enabling it to stitch almost any design including intricate patterns. The Statler Stitcher allows us to determine accurate pattern and block size, stitches per inch, repetitions of the pattern and the offset of the pattern.

Gammill is a world wide renowned company that has been manufacturing its own brand of quilting machines since 1979 and in the early 1980’s became the first company to develop a large-throat sewing machine on tracks which could be operated from both sides. This created a massive impact on the quilting world, as it became possible to complete a quilt in a matter of hours rather than days.

The Quilt Room are patchwork and quilting specialists trading for over 30 years. Our retail store and studio is based in Dorking, Surrey where we provide quilting fabrics, accessories and offer Longarm Quilting services. We are exclusive UK Gammill dealers and provide Gammill servicing. Pam and Nicky Lintott are the authors behind the successful Jelly Roll Quilt book series.
