Offering you an option to get your projects done.
Do not baste or pin your quilt layers together.
Square up all sides of your quilt and backing and remove all tucks. Wrinkles and fullness pieced into your quilt will not “quilt-out”. We will try to avoid tucking fullness or a wrinkle into the quilt as much as the piecing will allow.
Your quilt top will be secured at the top to a leader on the quilting machine and again at the bottom to another leader. These leaders are attached to rollers which stretch the quilt top from top to bottom. The sides of you quilt are not stretched side to side, but are lined up to keep the borders straight and held in place by clamps.
The quilt top is stretched only enough to keep it taut for the quilting process, not tight.
This will cause some stretching, thus you need to accommodate for this by making your backing and batting at least 8” inches longer and 4” wider than the quilt top.
Press both your quilt top and back, making sure there are no tucks in seams, and cut off loose threads to less than 3” inches will save the quilter time, and an additional charge for that extra job.
Please prewash backing if the quilt top fabric is prewashed. Selvages must be removed.
If it matters to you which end of the top matches up with the end on the back, please mark these ends with a safety pin. If you have a preference which way you want your seams to run on the back, please specify.
Thread colors are selected to coordinate with the quilt top as much as possible. If you have a different preference in thread color and/or fiber content, please specify.
Advance reservations are recommended. If quilt top is not delivered to us by the reservation date, the next customer will be taken and your name will be placed at the end of the list. Please call us if this will cause a problem for you.
Payment is due when your quilt is picked up.
