WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

Press and square the quilt top - for best results the quilt borders should measure the same size as the center of the quilt. Check both length and width for uniformity. Flared or pinched borders may create puckers or tucks in the finished quilt.
Clip all thread tails on quilt front and check for any holes or unsewn seams.
Backing should be 4” - 6” larger than the quilt top.
Batting, if you provide it, should be 6” larger than the quilt top.
Fold quilt top, backing and batting individually. Please don’t layer or baste together.
If we are binding your quilt, please provide the fabric. Don’t pre-make the binding.
Choose two general thread colors, and we will pick the best match in that range.
Please select two preferred quilting designs. We will always try to use your first choice, but sometimes it may not be optimized for your quilt, so we’ll go with your second choice.
If we find any unsewn seams or similar problems, we’ll make the necessary repairs up to 15 minutes for $5 without contacting you. If any repairs are requiring more time, we will contact you before proceeding.
