 Please do not baste
your quilt with either pins or thread as the top, batting and backing are
each loaded separately on the quilt frame.
Use a safety pin, or attach a small
piece of paper with a safety pin to identify the "head" or top of the
quilt top. Do the same for the backing, if provided.
Please remove selvages before you
piece the backing as doing so will allow the backing to be quilted with
less chance of puckering.
If you are providing the backing or
batting, it must be a minimum of 6" larger on each side of the squared-up
quilt top. (8" larger is preferred)
If you are using a pieced backing, it
will not be possible to center the back top-to-bottom relative to the
quilt top due to the way it is loaded on the frame and "creepage". If you
have questions about this, please ask me.
Please clip all threads.
Press your quilt top and backing
prior to shipping. Press all seams in the direction where they will
lay the flattest. ($25 per hour charge if we have to do it for you.)
Please do not add any
embellishments prior to quilting.
Square your backing and seam it to
the correct size to avoid additional charges. ($25 per hour if we square
the quilt top or backing.)
If the quilt is pieced to the edge
(no outside border), please stay-stitch slightly less than 1/4" all the
way around the outside to keep the edges in place during quilting.
Backing should be all-cotton. Please,
no bed sheets - they are densely woven and hard to penetrate with the
needle, causing skipped stitches, etc.
Print the order form from our
website, fill it out and include it with your quilt. Make a copy for
yourself.
