Tips & Guidelines
Recommendations and Guidelines for the Best Machine Quilting Results

Prepare your Quilt Top

Make sure the top is flat and square.
If you need help applying your borders so the quilt is flat and square. Check out this free handout: “How to Measure and Sew Straight Borders on your Quilt”
Clip loose threads, on the front and the back, and check that all seams are secure and pressed in the desired direction.
Trim any seam allowances that might cause lumps in the quilt.
Press well (don’t “iron”, which can stretch piecing.)
If borders are pieced, stay-stitch within the outside seam allowance (straight stitch, about 1/8” from the edge) to make sure seams stay secure during quilting process.
If quilt is directional or has a top or bottom, safety-pin a note to the top to make sure designs are placed right side up.
No embellishments. Beads, crystals and the like must be added after quilting.

Prepare the Quilt Backing

Busy prints make good backing choices.
Backing must be 6 to 8 inches larger than the quilt top. The larger the top, the more margin is needed.
Backing must be square. Do not include selvedges in seams as it can cause puckering.
Seamed/pieced backs must be flat and with secure seams, just like the top.
Press well.
I will not except sheets or poor quality backings for any quilts.
If wide back is used, please press thoroughly … wide backs tend to have creases in them.
If piecing the back, place the seam horizontally vs. vertically (unless fabric is directional). Vertical seams can cause tension issues.
Remove salvage edges on both pieces to be seamed – use 1/2″ seam and press open.
Please make sure backing is square.
**Example applies vertically as well

Batting

I will provide batting choices at the time of quilting at an additional charge.
High-loft or poor quality battings will not be accepted or used as they will affect the quality of the quilting.

Binding, Etc.

Binding—if you wish to have your binding attached by machine, prepare your binding of bias or straight strips (whichever you prefer). Strips 2 1/4″ to 2 1/2″ inches wide are suggested; seam on the diagonal to measure the perimeter of the quilt plus 12 inches. Press in half lengthwise. Any extra will be returned to you.
If you have a special pattern or photo showing your preferred quilting pattern, please include a copy in the package.
