About
Knot Just My Quilts is owned and operated by Pam Seeger.
Pam learned quilting in her Grandmother’s sun porch, where relatives would often gather to work on the current quilt. Pam’s Grandfather made quilting racks for his wife and each of his five daughters. Some of the quilts made there were knotted (tied) and that tradition is part of Pam’s business name today.
In her high school and college years, Pam developed an affinity for computers and software programs. She and her husband Bill were early adopters of home computers, laptops, and tablets. When Pam learned about computerized sewing machines, she set her hearts desire.
Over the years, Pam and Bill obtained three domestic Bernina sewing machines, including their Mid-Arm 830. As creativity grew, Pam found the Gammill Statler long-arm quilting machine. A marriage of quilting and computers were just her thing. In 2008, Knot Just My Quilts went into business in Murphy, Texas. Pam’s customer list has grown by word of mouth and she likes it that way. The best marketing is a happy client.
Pam bases her quilt-making methods on Mary Ellen Hopkins’ It’s Okay if You Sit on My Quilt.
Pam and Bill have three children: two adult daughters, with two sons-in-law, and a son who lives at home.

About Pricing
- Traditional pieced quilts are priced by overall size in inches and the complexity of the design. In general, clients have sewn their own quilt top project and bring it to the long-armer to join the layers. Costs can include batting and backing and thread depending on who provides the materials. Thread choices can add a lot of interest to the project. Knot Just My Quilts has thousands of custom patterns and established relationships with Designers to digitize whatever the client imagines.
- T-shirt quilting is priced by overall size in inches like traditional quilts. Unlike the traditional project, T-shirt quilts are usually provided unprepared. Costs then include trimming the shirts, stabilization of the stretchy T-shirt block, layout of the blocks, fabric for the sashes if used. Knot Just My Quilts combines those costs into general price ranges for specific sizes. [Chart]
