Details and
Prep of Your Quilt Top
I am looking forward to longarming for you!! I hope the below directions are helpful. Of course, if you have any questions, please let me know.
* Your Quilt top should be trimmed down to the final finished size. While I will not trim your Quilt top, once the quilting process is finished, I will be happy to trim up to 1/2″ to the Quilt edge at no charge. All remaining backing fabric that is trimmed off will be recycled, or, upon request, returned to you.
* I cannot stress enough that quilt backing must be 10″ longer and 10″ wider than quilt top. This is needed in order to attach the backing to the longarm frame. Also, please remove fabric salvages from your backing.
* Back fabric seams should run horizontally <——> .
* If your Quilt top does not have an outside border, I recommend you “stay stitch” less than 1/4″ around the edge of your entire quilt to ensure that the seams do not pull apart. This stitching will be hidden once your binding is attached to the Quilt.
* Remove all pins, buttons, charms, sequins and any other embellishments from your Quilt top.
* Identify what you consider to be the top of your Quilt and the top of the backing fabric with a safety pin (place pin in upper left hand corner) so I orient your top and backing correctly.
* Trim all loose threads on the top and underside of your Quilt top. This is especially needed if your backing fabric is a light color as those loose threads will show through. If you quilt back is dark, this isn’t so important.
* Press your Quilt top and backing, especially pressing out those hard creases. I do not press backing or tops.
* If you are shipping, place all items in a strong plastic bag before placing in the shipping box. I recommend using USPS Flat Rate Priority Box or UPS Ground shipping.
Finally, for 100% of my LA jobs I will call you before I start to go over any final details. I look forward to talking to all my customers!!!!
