Quilt Standards Rental information
Evergreen Piecemakers owns Quilt Standards (Racks) that are made available to rent. These may be rented out to other guilds or to private parties. The money obtained for their rental is used to pay for the storage costs of them when they are not in use.
The following information outlining the Rental Guidelines
Renters must bring at least 2 able bodied persons to pick up Quilt Standards
Renters will need to bring at least one full size truck, with canopy or good plastic tarp to tie down truck after it is loaded. If all equipment is rented it will NOT fit in one minivan. At least one additional vehicle is required.
Rental Agent for Evergreen Piecemakers will show the people who come to get the equipment how to assemble the poles and connectors.
Sheets are folded with our Club name and size showing on the top. Please ask that sheets be refolded with names and sizes out for easy identification. Connecting PVC pipe pieces are also stored in appropriate tubs. Please return them to the same location.
One person picking up the quilt standards will be responsible for signing the rental agreement. This will include a contact name and phone number and confirmation of the number of pieces received.
Evergreen Piecemakers agrees to have a person meet the group at Totem Storage 8838 S 228th in Kent, WA at a mutually agreeable time. Make sure the pickup people have accurate directions and the correct time for pickup. We do have to work within the hours for Totem Storage, which are currently 7:30AM to 9:30 PM. This is a secure facility and requires a person with a pass code and key to obtain access.
We would appreciate that you distribute fliers for our show, when available and if you provide us with flyers we will do the same for you.
When loading it usually works best to place long poles in first (8 and 9 foot), then the shorter poles (6 and 7 foot), then totes, then the quilt rack bases. Then the load must be secured with a cover, canopy or tarp and rope. It is the responsibility of the group renting the equipment to properly secure the load.
If small children are brought to the Totem Storage, they will be required to stay in the vehicle. Evergreen Piecemakers will not accept any liability for any children present.
Rentals require a security deposit of the rental fee or $75.00 whichever is less. This should be in the form of a check that is separate from the rental fee. Evergreen Piecemakers will hold this deposit until an inventory can be accomplished on all equipment rented. Evergreen Piecemakers will attempt to accomplish this with ten days.
The rental fee is due at the time equipment is picked up at Totem Storage.
Damage to equipment will be charged as follows:
Torn, stained or missing sheets - $15.00 each
Stripped, chipped or missing PVC connectors - $4.00 each
Missing PVC poles - $8.00 each
Damaged or missing plywood bases - $20.00 each
Damaged or missing Totes – current replacement cost

Evergreen Piecemakers will absorb the costs for normal wear. All decisions on what is normal wear will be at the discretion of the Evergreen Piecemakers representative. For an item to be considered due for replacement due to normal wear it must be marked and segregated at the time of return.
