A few notes on preparing your quilt and backing fabric

• Keep all layers separate no need to pin or baste together
• Check all seams for gaps or loose stitches
• Trim all loose threads front and back
• Square your quilt top and backing fabric
• Press the quilt top, making sure the seams lay as flat as possible.
• Backing fabric must be at least 4" - 6" larger than the quilt top on all sides, to accommodate loading onto the machine
• Mark the top of your quilt if directional.  A safety pin or piece of fabric loosely stitched near the top works well
• If you need to join the backing fabric.  Stitch using 1/2" seam allowance. Press the seam open.  Do not remove the selvedge this is the only true straight edge on the fabric.
• Optional: If you do not purchase the wadding from us make sure that it is the same size as the backing fabric
• Optional: if you would like us to complete your quilt and attach the binding please provide the binding 2 1/2" width and 12" longer then the measurement around the quilt edge.  For example 2 x length + 2 x width + 12" to allow fro corners and joining.

Please note that quilts should be free from embellishments, beading or buttons.  Any trimmings should be added after the quilt is returned.
