2. Custom/Meandering Combo: A combination of simple meandering with some custom work to emphasize certain designs or fussy-cut blocks. (Look for the quilted monkeys in the first picture!) Used on T-Shirt quilts to set off the pictures and logos, while keeping the background simple.

3. Patterned Free Motion, Edge to Edge: Patterns with flowers, leaves, stars, ribbon curls, Christmas holly, etc., stitched freely over the whole quilt.
.
4. Pantographs, Edge to Edge: A consistent, repeated pattern (floral, leaves, geometric, etc.) done by following a printed pattern with a laser light.
.
5. Patterned Free Motion in Center, with Separate Borders: A combination of free-motion and custom quilting, taking some of the piecing into consideration.
.
6. Custom Quilting: Special techniques including stitch in the ditch, outlining, cross-hatching, clam shells and special designs selected for your quilt. This may include multiple thread color changes. Custom Quilting is more time-consuming than other options but gives beautiful results.
