Quilt Preparation

• Quilt top should be pressed and free of all loose thread with all thread tails cut and all seams pressed flat and secure.
• Mark the top of the quilt with a safety pin if it is directional.
• Backing needs to be 5" larger than the quilt top.  Please press the backing flat.
• Batting needs to be 5" larger than the quilt top if you are providing.  No sheets please, they don't quilt well.
• Please be sure your quilt top and backing are square and flat.  See instructions on making sure borders added will be square.

To ensure that your quilt top and backing are square, measure across the top, bottom and center.  These should be the same measurement.  If these are not the same measurement, this could result in puckers during the quilting process.

• Please fold quilt top and backing separate and fold over a hanger with your name, address, phone number and email address pinned to hanger.  
• You may provide the batting.  Please, no high loft polyester batting.  Or we use Hobbs 80/20 cotton batting that you may purchase from us.  Call us for pricing.
• If you prewashed your quilt top, it is highly recommended that you also prewash your backing fabric.
