QUILT PREPARATION
Top
Please remove stray threads (we don't want them sowing through a light background) and press your top well, make sure to reduce bulk where multiple seams join.
Do not add any embellishments (patches, buttons, etc) wait until the quilting is done.
Edge stitch 1/8" from edge if there are multiple seams along outer edge of top, Tensioning from machine will pull these open if they aren't secured.
Batting
Bring your own or purchase in store.
Batting MUST be a minimum of 2" wider and 2" longer than quilt top. Eg. 60x80 Top = 64x84 Batting.
Press or tumble dry to remove wrinkles especially if using bagged batting. Please do not put it back in the bag. Fold on a hanger with your backing and top preferably.
Backing
Bring your own or purchase extra wide in store.
Must be a minimum of 8" wider and 8" longer than quilt top. Eg. 60x80 Top = 68x88 Backing.
If larger, we trim and return all leftovers/spare parts.If your backing is pieced use a 1/2" seam and press open.
Remove selvedges if in backing seams.
Press your backing to remove wrinkles.

Yes, we will put your binding on for you. No, sorry, we won't hand stitch it.
We will machine to one side for you to hand stitch or we will machine both sides.
