Prepare Your Quilt

To ensure the best results for your finished quilt follow these suggestions.

  • It is imperative when preparing your backing and batting that you add an additional 8” to the length and width. If your quilt top is 60”x80” then your backing and batting needs to be 68”x88”.
  • Both the quilt top and backing should be pressed.
  • If directional please be sure to inform me so I can make a note of it.
  • The quilt top and backing should be Square (90 degrees).  This is very important for the best results.
  • To achieve those best results you should clip the loose threads and remove frays.
  • On those horizontal seams on your quilt I suggest reinforcing them by stay stitching 1/8″- 1/4″. This will help ensure that the seams do not separate during the quilting process.
  • My turn around time is approximately 2 weeks.

Terms and Conditions

Sewing machines are mechanical devices and despite careful maintenance, mechanical issues may occur.

Fullness and puckering cannot always be quilted out. I do not guarantee that they will not be sewn in. In some cases excessive fullness may cause the quilt to not be square.

By allowing me to quilt your quilt you are indicating that you have read and understand these disclaimers. I cannot promise perfection, I am human. However I do promise to do my best and treat your quilt with the care I would treat my own.

If you have any concerns or questions please feel free to contact me and I will be happy to address your concerns. I would love to hear from you. You can reach me by email or phone.
