welcome to the quilting bug

professional long arm machine quilting service and online store

Our aim is to have all of your unfinished quilt tops quilted – in a fast, affordable and professional manner, so you can get on with the fun job of making more!

The Quilting Bug is a professional long arm machine quilting service and online store located near the Werribee Plaza, Hoppers Crossing.

The Quilting Bug, established in 2010, offers a variety of quilting styles, including:

  • Edge to Edge Quilting
  • Custom Quilting
  • Light Custom
  • Heirloom
  • Stitch in the Ditch
  • Machine Basting
Visit our Quilt Preparation page to learn more about each of the different styles of quilting offered.

The Quilting Bug uses a Gammill Statler Stitcher® Machine.

The Statler Stitcher® utilizes computer software and hardware to operate a longarm quilting machine capable of stitching almost any design. A Gammill® machine equipped with Statler Stitcher® can handle an intricately patterned king-size quilt and is guided by the computer instead of by hand. The system can determine the pattern size, block size, stitches per inch, and repetitions of the pattern and the offset of the pattern.

The software packages, Precision Stitch and Creative Studio can determine pattern size, block size, stitches per inch, repetitions of the pattern and the offset of the pattern so that any design fits perfectly on any size quilt with all aspects of the patterns in proportions.

I would recommend in taking your precious quilts to Natalie in which I have taken many of mine.

The turnaround has been quick, the longest I have had to wait would be 2-3 weeks. I found Natalie to be friendly and very welcoming and has had helped me on advice on all my dealings with her. Nothing is a problem, as she always has a solution. I have given Natalie a few custom quilts to do without instruction and the outcome I was more than happier with. If you go to her I am sure you will be very happy with the service and experience of having your quilts quilted with her.

Natalie at the Quilting Bug has constantly amazed me with her quilting of my quilts

Her imagination for quilting patterns; the consistency of her work; and her reasonable prices have me returning time and time again to get my quilts professionally finished. She even manages to make MY sewing look good! Her work is so good that my daughter also sends her quilts to the Quilting Bug and we have both decided that if we want a quilting job done well - send it to Natalie!

I have been sending my quilts to Natalie for over a year now and after getting the first one back, I was so delighted

I don’t think I will ever go through the discomfort of quilting on my home machine again! I always find Natalie helpful in choosing the right quilting design and colour of thread. Her turn-around time and prices are really competitive too – great service!
