Tips for Preparing Your Quilt

​

• Backing should be 6-8”longer and wider then your quilt top.

• Quilt top and back should be fully pressed.  You may use spray on sizing or light starch when pressing.

• Please mark the quilt top if it is directional.

• Assure all seams are secure.  Staystitch an 1/8” around the edge of your quilt.

• If backing is seamed, remove the selvage edge.  Use a 1/2” seam and press open, this will result in a flatter seam.

• Backing should be washed and pressed - this helps eliminate any bearding.  

​

All quilting costs are considered on the size of the quilt:

L  -  ______  x  W  -  ______  =  _____  sq in

I do mainly custom quilting believing that the quilting makes the quilt.

​

While that is the case, I will follow  your wishes and directions on quilting your quilt.

​

             This includes all free hand or robotic meandering, without customized quilt top enhancement.

             This includes all  computerized quilting.

​

​

THREAD  -  % of cone @ $5.00,  $. 75 a bobbin

             I use Glide tri-lobal thread.  I do not charge to make color changes, only the cost for the thread.  I usually use different colors on the top and bottom, but have no problem using the same on front and back.
