Frequently Asked Questions
What if I don't have a particular photograph?
I can create a general or custom fabric art creation.
A general fabric picture is an impression of one part of nature. It does not match a photograph that I have here. A fabric picture or quilted wallhanging is one that corresponds with one of my photographs. A custom piece is one that I create from a photo you provide.
Could my fabric picture be framed instead?
Yes. A hanging that is to be framed would not have batting (the “sandwich”
or inside material) or a fabric backing.
Who provides the frame?
If you already have a frame, the quilted picture can be created to fit the
size of your frame. If you want it matted by me, please indicate that when
you make your order. The custom fabric picture size is determined by size of mat.
How do I hang up a wallhanging?
There are 3 methods for displaying – rings on the back fabric, a material
sleeve on the back fabric, or material tabs that are visible when viewing
the hanging. A dowel is used with each of these methods; dowels can be
found at most any shop that sells art or craft supplies. Custom orders may
indicate their preference on the order form.
How long will it take to make a custom fabric art piece?
Usually a custom work will be completed within 4 to 6 weeks. The
consideration factors are the complexity of the design and whether or not
I have the comparable fabrics already here.
Can you do a picture of my ___?
I create landscape scenes, buildings/structures, pet portraits, and children's drawings. At this point, I make silhouettes of people or outlines of their faces. If in doubt, email me the photo anyway. If I am unable to do the design, I will let you know.
How much does a custom fabric picture cost?
The cost of each custom work depends upon the complexity of the image, the size, and the fabric. As of January 2012, the price based on a simple image is:
16" - under 20": $110
16" square pillow form: $110
18" square pillow form: $135
20" - under 22": $160
22": $220
Over 22": inquire
Measurement is of the largest side of the fabric picture and includes the border, if applicable. Inquire of price of more than one animal per fabric picture. Significant revisions will have an extra charge. Price does not include NYS sales tax or shipping and insurance. If your custom fabric picture requires an additional charge due to the complexity of the image, I will notify you by email or phone prior to beginning your piece.
How do I pay for this?
I can accept credit cards, personal checks, cashier’s checks, money orders, or Paypal- direct bank transfer. If paying by check, a deposit of 50% is required along with the order form and the balance is due prior to delivery. A personal check must clear the bank before the item will be shipped.
Credit cards: The Quilted Jardin is able to accept payment from Mastercard and Visa. You may call and give me your credit card information, and approval happens while you are on the phone. If paying by credit card, 100% is due at time of the order.
