Before You Book
These helpful tips will make the process smooth and help ensure the best results for your quilt.
Prep

Please press your quilt top and backing for me so that it’s nice and tidy and ready for me to load. Also clip stray threads or raveling fabrics as best as you can.
Backing Size

Here’s an easy way to remember: Four-for-four! :) I require the backing to be 4” extra ON ALL SIDES. For example, if you have a quilt top that is 60” x 80”, your backing should measure at least 68” x 88”. It can be bigger, not smaller.
Tidy It Up

You might not be able to get every thread, but to prevent dark threads from shadowing through your quilt top, please don’t skip this important step! Clipping stray threads makes a big difference in the final result.
Quilting Choice

I want this to be fun for you and not overwhelming! You have the option of having me make the quilting decisions for you. It all depends on your purpose for the quilt; sometimes “done” is best!
