Quilt Top Preparation
- Your top must be squared. Click here to Google squaring a quilt
- Press your top with all seams flat
- Clip all threads on your top - stray threads can show through lighter fabric
- Do not baste, pin or tack your top, batting and backing together
Backing Preparation
- Backing must be squared and at least 4" larger than the quilt top on all sides. (example: a 60"x72" top requires at least a 68"x80" backing)
- Please piece if required. If you sew the selveges together, use a 1/2" seam allowance, trim to 1/4" and press open. I will piece it for you at additional cost
Batting
- If you provide your own, it must be at least 4" larger than the quilt top on all sides (example: a 60"x72" top requires batting to be at least 68"x80")
Thread
- Thread selection can make a large difference in the appearance of your finished quilt. Decide whether you wish the stitching to blend or subtly contrast with both the top and backing.
Stitching Choices
- same pattern edge to edge
- edge to edge pattern in main area with different border pattern
- individual block patterns and border pattern
- echoing and stitch-in-the-ditch available
