Please bring top, backing, & batting separately.

Quilt Top

Quilt Top

Quilt Top

1. Be sure all quilt edges are cut straight across on all sides.

2. Clip and remove all loose threads on top of quilt. (Lint rollers work well.) 

3. Press top, so seams lie flat. (Lessens the chance of pleats or tucks.) 

4. Seams should be  ¼” and well-secured. 

5. Label the top of the quilt (if there is one) with a safety pinned note.

6. Lots of seams on the outside border? Please staystitch 1/8” from all edges.

               Pricing


Edge to Edge  


Patterns vary in price from 2.0 to 3.5 cents per square inch. We have about 140 different patterns to choose from.


Custom


Custom quilting is priced on an hourly basis depending on the complexity and time it takes to quilt.  Custom Quilting takes considerably more time and starts at 6 cents/square inch.

Quilt Back

Quilt Top

Quilt Top

1. The fewer the seams the better!

 2. Be sure it is 6-12” wider and 6-12” longer than quilt top. (ie, 60 x 60 quilt top   needs the back to be at least 66 x 66)  

3. On straight-grain, not bias. No sheets. 

4. All 4 sides must be "squared off" with straight, even edges.

5. Press well to remove creases and ensure that seams lie flat.

6. Leave selvedge on the outside edges of back. If back is pieced, remove any selvedges on the pieced seam as they are a denser weave and may shrink or pucker after washing.

Border First Aid


*Don't stitch the border on without measuring and pinning thoroughly first, *

Don't simply sew from one end to the other, then cut off the excess fabric. This often causes full, wavy borders, pleats, puckers or puffy/raised areas.


Here is what to do:


1. Measure your quilt lengthwise in three places-- at the top, the bottom and through the middle.

2. Add those measurements and divide by three to get the average. Cut your border strips that length. Pin both ends even to the quilt top. Pin again in the center. Continue pinning in the center of each section, easing gently as necessary.

3. Stitch, using a walking foot if possible.

4. Repeat the procedure with the width. This will give you a "squared" quilt.
