Quilt Preparation
The following are some things you can do to insure the best outcome of your
quilt!
- Trim all loose threads from the front and back of your
quilt top
- Reinforce all seams on the outside edges of you quilt
top. When I load the quilt on the frame it does apply a small amount
of pressure and these seams can come loose if not backstitched or
reinforced.
- Press all seams flat. The border seams should press
towards the quilt top.
- When piecing your back ( if necessary) sew with a
½ inch seam allowance after trimming the selvage off. Then press it open
and flat. Selvages on the edges are fine. Square up the edges.
- Check your borders to make sure they are not wavy. Wavy
borders are hard to quilt without puckers or tucks. The border will
forever be wavy.
- Batting & Backing, MUST
be 3" larger on all sides than the quilt top, quilts will not be
quilted if backing and batting are not larger than the quilt top.
- Include fabric for binding if required, and any sketch
of special instructions that might be helpful for a desired look.
- I am not responsible for folds in fabric due to
fullness of piecing.
When you are comfortable with your
preparation, please give me a call to make arrangements for your
quilting. We will work together to choose a quilting design, thread
color, etc
I will notify you when your quilt is
finished. If I am shipping your quilt back to you I will need full payment
before shipping. I accept checks.
