Quilt Preparation:
Proper quilt preparation will save us time and you money. By following the preparation steps below you can avoid time delays and “add-on charges.”
- Press your quilt top and backing thoroughly.
- If you pre-wash your fabrics, it is best to pre-wash all of them.
- Clip all loose threads from back and front of quilt top.
- Square up backing fabric, or we will have to charge you to do it.
- Your backing and batting must be a minimum of 4” larger than your quilt top on all four sides.
- Do not baste, pin or tack your quilt together. Just fold each piece separately.
- When seaming your backing, be sure to remove all salvages.
- Be aware that fullness and puckers, which have been pieced in, cannot be quilted out.
Border Tips:
- Avoid handling your quilt by the borders once they have been attached. This can stretch them and cause them to become loose and wavy.
- Straight borders cut from the length of the grain, (parallel to the salvage) lay much flatter than those cut cross-grained.
Add-on charges: If your quilt requires preparation upon its arrival, the following charges will apply. (You will be notified immediately via email.)
- Squaring backing: $15.00
- Pressing: $15.00
- Piecing backing: $15.00
