Quilt Top
- Take a photo of your quilt and backing. Send us a copy along with the quilt. Keep a copy yourself. (You might want to take a photo of you and the quilt together for insurance purposes in the event the quilt is lost in shipping).
- Mark the top of the quilt with a safety pin.
- Mark the top of the backing with a safety pin (needed only if your backing is directional).
- Remove all basting and any pins (except the top marker pin if present).
- Trim any loose threads and remove embellishments if present.
- Place all items in a plastic bag prior to packing for shipment to protect against moisture.
Backing and Binding
- Quilt Backing needs to be at least 4 inches larger on all four sides (and preferably
6 inches, if possible). For example, a 45” x 60” quilt will have backing that is
53” x 68”. Please note that the maximum width for our machine is 120”. - Verify that your quilt backing is seamed (unless our optional service is selected)
- Binding fabric included and labelled – we only accept standard fabric (no minky or fleece or other similar types)
