Information on preparing your quilt top
Below are some simple tips for preparing your quilt top before bringing it to me for quilting.
- Clip all threads
- Secure all Seams
- Stay stitch around perimeter of top and back
- Press quilt top and back
- Remove all salvages
- Make sure quilt top and back are square with straight boarders.
- Back should be 8 inches longer and wider than quilt top. (Batting also if you supply)
- Any fullness will cause puckers when quilting is done. We will try to work them out as much as we can
- Mark the top of the quilt with a safety pin.
- Batting and backing can be supplied at an additional charge.
