Thank you for taking an interest in our service. Before you bring your quilt to us, here are a few points to make the process easier:
- Backing and batting should be at least 4" wider and 4" longer on all sides, than the pieced top. Please make sure the quilt top/backing edges are cut straight and square.
- Please no bed sheets, the fabric is too dense and in turn it prevents needle penetration causing skipped stitches and thread breaks.
- If you have bias edges on the outside of your quilt, stay-stitch 1/4" around all edges.
- Your quilt top and backing should be well pressed with all seams flat.
- Please clip all loose threads on the front and back of your quilt top. Threads left behind may show through the finished quilt.
- Keep all three layers (top, batting, and backing) as separate pieces. They will be loaded one at a time onto the frame.
- Fullness and puckers within a quilt and its borders cannot be quilted out. We cannot guarantee that puckers and tucks won't be sewn in. In some cases, excessive fullness in borders may result in the quilt corners not being square.
- The flatter your quilt top is, the better the finished quilt will be.
