After a professional look for your finished quilt? Send it to Specialty Threads. Using a Pro Stitcher, Barrie uses a large range of edge-to-edge patterns to give your quilt the finishing touch. Add a point of difference with a quilted border - a great look if you have a wider border you’d like to emphasize.

Turnaround time is two to three weeks - please contact us for a detailed estimate.

Keen to have a go yourself? Specialty Threads is an authorised distributor of Handiquilter’s Amara - and we have one on display! You’re welcome to come and test-drive it in our Auckland showroom. Please contact us to arrange an appointment.
