Determine your Cost

Preparing your Quilt

  • Quilt top should be clean, pressed and trimmed down to final finished size.

  • Trim any loose threads. Make sure all seams are secure.

  • Use a safety pin to mark the top of the quilt.

  • Remove any excess pins, buttons and other embellishments.

  • The quilt top must lay flat. Measure quilt top across the top, bottom, and at the center. These measurements should be the same, if not you may end up with puckers and an unsquared quilt.

  • Quilt top, backing and batting should be 3 separate pieces. We load them separately on the longarm machine.

  • Batting and Backing must be at least 4" larger than the quilt top on all sides. For example, if the quilt top is 60" x 70" the Batting and Backing should measure 68" x 78".

  • If you pre-wash your quilt top it is highly recommended that you also pre-wash your backing fabric.
