Check list for preparing your quilt to be longarm
- Fill out the order form
- Quilt top should be trimmed to the final finished size. We will not cut or trim your quilt top. We will trim the batting and backing up to the quilt top once it is quilted, at no charge.
- Measure your quilt across the top, middle and bottom. It should be the same, to ensure puckers do not occur.
- Please make sure that the back and batting are a minimum of 4″ larger on all four sides than the top. (A quilt top that is 60″x 90″ would need batting and back to be 68″x 98″)
- Trim all loose threads from back and front of your quilt top. Also make sure all outside seams have been back stitched.
- If the back needs to be seamed, we prefer it to run horizontal. Also trim all loose threads.
- Please press top and back well. The seams can be pressed open or closed.
- You may provide your own batting. But we prefer to use our own. Please understand that some batting will not work on a longarm quilting machine.
- Most important is to remove all pins, buttons, charms, sequins, and any other embellishments from your quilt top.
- Borders that do not lay flat will cause puckers, tucks, pleats or fulness.
- Indicate the top of the quilt by placing a safety pin at the top of the back and also at the top of the quilt top.
- We can do a quilt back up to 120″ wide so the quilt top would be 8″ smaller than the back or 112″.
