I like to spend
my time doing what I do best... Quilting! Please follow these guidelines
for preparing your quilt. If your quilt is not ready to go, there
will be an extra charge.
Backing
The
backing should be neatly sewn together, with the excess selvage
removed.
Cut
parallel top to bottom leaving no jagged edges.
Backing
must be at least 4" longer and 4" wider than the quilt
top. Be sure to tell me if you plan to fold over your backing
to make the binding.
Press
and fold neatly.
Top
Your quilt
top should be completely pressed with all excess threads and borders
trimmed neatly.
DO NOT baste
or pin your quilt. If I hit a needle that is left in your quilt,
my machine will be out for costly repairs for weeks.
Please try
to measure your borders when piecing your quilt. Excess fabric
in the borders will make your quilt misshapen, and makes it more
difficult to quilt without pleating. If you have questions on
how to get your borders to come out squared up, I am more than
happy to teach you.
Here is an
example of a "flared" border, or a border with excess
fabric.
