“Preparing your quilt top for the Longarm”
Preparing your quilt top for the Longarm
What’s the 1st. Step?
Preparing Quilt Top:
- Quilt top should be trimmed down to the final finished size.
We will not cut or trim your quilt top.
We only trim the quilt once the quilting process is finished at no charge.
Quilt tops should be well pressed.
Quilt tops should be squared up prior to check in.
Trim all loose threads on the top and underside of your quilt top.
Praire points, flanges, pleats or any dimensional elements are basted down.
Inspect for any seams which have come loose.
Indicate the top and center of your quilt with a note. (this is the Top of the quilt/This is the center)
If you have many seams along the outer edge please stay stitch an 1/8 of inch all around.
What’s the 2nd. Step?
Preparing The Backing:
Backing fabric is well pressed with seams pressed open.
Backing fabric MUST be a min. of 10 inches longer and 10 inches wider than the quilt top. Meaning if your top is 60" x 70" we need your backing to be 70" x 80”
All edges should be even.
What’s the 3rd. Step?
Label it! Identify it!
Attach to your quilt top a paper note with the following: name, phone #, size of quilt, size of backing and your preferred deadline date. Please write it neatly.
Place your quilt top folded unto a hanger.
Place your quilt back folded unto another hanger.
Tag your quilt back too with your full name too.
Let’s talk about success!
