Preparing Your Quilt

Preparing Your Quilt

1. Keep quilt layers separate. No pinning or basting is required.

2. Quilt Top: 

  1. Your quilt top should be well pressed.

  2. Make sure edges are straight and top is as square as possible. 

  3. Check seams to make sure they are secure and trim off hanging threads.

  4. Leave off embellishments until quilting is done.

3. Backing: 

  1. Use a good quality muslin or other cotton quilting fabric. Avoid using bedsheets
    for backing. 

  2. Measurement: Backing needs to be 6" wider and longer than your quilt top.

  3. Backing should be pressed and all selvages trimmed off.

  4. Make sure it is as square as possible.

  5. For your convenience, I do have a small selection of solid color cotton fabrics on hand.  See price list. Please call ahead of time for color availability. 

4. Batting:

  1. You may provide your own batting or...

  2. For your convenience, I offer cotton or poly batting for an extra charge. See price list.
    Measurement: Batting needs to be 6" wider and longer than your quilt top.

  3. Cotton Batting shrinks a little when washed, giving your quilt that old-fashioned look.  Poly batting doesn't shrink.

5. Thread: 

  1. No need to provide your own thread. 

  2. I have a variety of threads in many colors to choose from. I can also order thread at no charge to you if I do not have the color you need.

  3. One solid color thread is included in the price of your quilting. Each additional color has a charge of $1.00.  

  4. Variegated thread is available with a $2.00 charge.

Measuring Your Quilt

Backing and Batting Measurements:
***Example: a 94" x 94" quilt top needs a
backing and batting that measure 100" x 100"
 
Calculating the cost of quilting:
Multiply the length times the width of your quilt top to get square inches. Multiply square inches times the cost of the quilting service you desire.
 
***Example:
      Your quilt top is 94" x 94". 
      You want an all over pantograph which is .01 per sq. inch. 
      94 X 94 = 8836 sq. in.
      8836 x .01 = $88.36 + tax
 
Calculating the cost of binding:
      Your quilt top measures 80" x 100"
      You want me to machine sew the binding to the front of your quilt, you will finish at home:
          Width = 80" x 2 = 160"
          Length= 100" x 2 = 200"
          ** 360" x .10 = $36.00

Please call or email before mailing a quilt.
