Getting Your Quilt Ready

Quilt Top

  • Clip all threads on the front and back of the quilt top so that dark threads will not show through light coloured fabrics
  • Make sure all seams are secure.
  • Indicate which edge is the top edge with a safety pin.
  • DO NOT add any embellishments prior to quilt. ( Baste down any flanges or prairie points)
  • Stay stitch the outer edge of your quilt top within the 1/4" seam. (Optional)
  • Please note that 110" x 110" is the maximum comfortable quilt size my Studio frame can take.

Backing

  • The backing must be at least 8" larger than both the width and the length of the quilt top.
  • Remove the selvedges from any seam on the backing fabric but not from the out edges.
  • Joining seams on the backing need to be horizontal were possible.
  • Thoroughly press and iron the seams on the backing open.
  • Indicate which edge is the top edge with a safety pin.

Wadding / Batting

  • If you are supplying the wadding it should be 8" larger than both the width and length of the quilt top
  • 80/20 wadding available POA

Design & Thread

  • Consider theme, design and patterns for you quilt and let me know your likes & dislikes so that we can agree on a pattern together.
  • Thread colour choices are available.

Edge to Edge Quilting Explained

  • Edge to edge quilting is a continuous line design worked from one edge of the quilt to the other and repeated from the top to the bottom of the quilt
  • The design of your piecing is not used as a guide in the placement of quilting patterns with edge to edge this is only accomodated in Custom Quilting.


*Do not spray baste the three layers together*

All seams must be secure as the layers of the quilt will be under tension on the Long Arm frame.
