Preparing My Quilt for Quilting

Preparing Your Quilt Top

Your quilt top should come to me free of pet hair and long threads. There should not be any gaps in the piecing seams as these can cause issues in the quilting process. Also when pressing your quilt top please ensure that the seams are pressed flat especially at points where there are multiple layers of fabric.

Batting Specifications

I stock Quilter’s Dream batting. If you wish to provide your own high quality batting please make sure that it measures 6 inches longer and wider than your quilt top.

Preparing your Backing

Your backing should come to me either as one piece of fabric or already pieced following the same guidelines as your quilt top. The only exception to these guidelines is that the back should measure 8 inches longer and wider than your quilt top.
