Preparation

Preparing a quilt for Longarm Quilting

1.

Materials

Bring your quilt in 3 separate pieces - Top, Wadding and Backing. If you're unsure of what these are, you can see a glossary for these terms here.

2.

Size Requirements

Have the backing and wadding 4 inches wider on all sides. For example, for an 80" x 80" quilt, the backing and wadding should measure 88" x 88".

This 4" allowance ensures that the backing and wadding adequately cover the entire quilt top.

3.

Shape

Your backing should be square with two straight edges for pinning on and mark the top and bottom if required.

4.

Final Prep

When bringing your own backing, it should be the appropriate size or if it needs to be joined, please do so before dropping your quilt off.

Booking a time slot

You can book an appointment by calling, texting or email.

When booking a time slot please be mindful that other customers may be booked in before or after you.

There can, at times, be a 6 week waiting list depending on the volume and the time of year.
