Preparing your quilt

Custom Machine Quilting

These helpful hints will help ensure I’m able to do the best job possible when I do your quilting!

· Make sure your quilt top and back are square

· Remove any pins

· Check for any missed (unsewn) seams

· Trim thread tails and press your quilt top and backing

· The backing and batting should be at least 4” larger than the quilt all the way around

· I can piece your backing together if you like, but there is an extra charge

· I can supply batting, I have various types in stock

· No need for basting, I’ll do that on the machine as required

· Your quilt will be ready for the binding when I’m done

· I can do binding for an extra charge, OR just do the machine sewing on the front side and leave the hand-turning finish to you

· It is best if you add your embellishments (beads, etc) after the quilting is completed
