Preparing Your Quilt
- Quilt top and backing should be pressed but not basted.
- Trim your threads. Dark threads will show through after quilting.
- Ensure all seams are fully sewn.
- Backing and batting must be a minimum of 6” longer and wider than quilt top. Make sure backing is square.
- Mark the top (head) of quilt top & backing with safety pins.
- Three dimensional embellishments such as buttons, beads, etc. will interfere with longarm quilting and should be applied after quilting is completed.
- Make sure your quilt top lies flat. Please check for wavy borders and correct problems at home. To avoid wavy borders, measure through the middle of the quilt to get your border length & width, then cut borders to that measurement.
