Preparing your quilt for quilting is a very important step to insure a beautiful outcome of the finished project. Many quilters don't realize how important these steps can be. The amount of time and care you have put into your top will determine the outcome of the finished quilt. If you have worked lots of hours on it up to this point we need to insure the finishing is the best possible it can possibly be.
As a longarm quilter I cannot undo uneven seams, wonky borders, shredded edging, missing stitches or too-short backings. A good longarmer CAN, however, make the best of what you have by minimizing mistakes and maximizing the beauty of your work.
Here is a checklist for you to follow before
____ Press both your top and your backing. Please be courteous of my time, your top and backing need to lay flat on my frame.
____Trim all stray threads on the top and the backing.
____Check and repair any loose and/or open seams.
If you have worked with a longarm quilter in the past, most of the above items above are typically requested. For further information, you may want to continue to read.

Here is a checklist for you to follow before
sending your quilt
____ Press both your top and your backing. Please be courteous of my time, your top and backing need to lay flat on my frame.

____Trim all stray threads on the top and the backing.
____Check and repair any loose and/or open seams.
____Mark the top of the quilt and the top of the backing.
____Remove all selvages and make sure your backing is square. If you need help with this, please ask.
____Measure your top and your backing – DOUBLE check that your backing is at LEAST 4 and prefer 6” larger than your top. If your top is 50”x 50”, your backing needs to be at least 58”x 58”. Please check this carefully.
____Pet Hair–Please remove pet hair from your top and backing. I would not want to, but may have to refuse tops/backings with excessive pet hair.
If you have worked with a longarm quilter in the past, most of the above items above are typically requested. For further information, you may want to continue to read.
Pressing
Please take the time to press your top and backing. I don't mind pressing it a little, but please be considerate of my time. This will give you another chance to trim threads and check for open seams. Open Seams (stitched) can be a machine quilters worst nightmare. They can damage our machines if not caught prior to loading and quilting your quilt. You may want to make sure the selvages are removed next to any stitching. Seams on your backing need to be pressed flat.
Batting
If you supply your own batting for multiple quilts, please cut the batting for each quilt before giving to me. I may not cut the batting for the quilts in the correct order resulting in not enough batting. If I have to cut your batting there may be an additional charge.
Backing
Your backing must be at least 4” and prefer 6” larger than your top on all sides. If your quilt is 50" x 50" your batting and backing needs to measure at least 58" x 58". If your backing is too small and I have to add additional fabric to make it long/wide enough, you will be charged $5 per addition. Please ask me if you have any questions about this. Price for squaring backings $5.
Thread/Pet Hair
Please take a moment to clip all threads on the top and edges of your quilt top and backing. Loose threads can damage my machines if they get caught in the hopping foot while quilting. Threads also have the potential to get caught in the wheels on my machine. This will affect the computer placement of the quilting design on your quilt. PET HAIR-I know you love your pets, but PLEASE clean up tops and backs before sending to me. I advertise as a "pet free" quilter and pet hair on your tops/backs can transfer to other quilts that I may currently have or am working on. If necessary for me to de-thread or de-hair your quilt it might cost you an additional $5.
Quilt Love Charges
I am exceptionally busy, and truly, truly, thankful that I have you as a customer. But, with that being said I need to make the best use of my time to get all of these beautiful quilts quilted. I really don’t mind working with you to fix the little things that may require a little attention but…..when I must put additional time into your quilt top or backing because you have neglected to do any of the following, I may have to charge you an additional charge. If I am working on your top or backing doing something that you should have done, I am not working on finishing someone else’s quilt. I do not ask anything that any other machine quilter would request, please work with me on this. I am spending too much time on things that you should have done before giving your top and backing to me.
If you have any questions please let me know I am more than happy to work with you.
Together we can get your tops finished and into beautiful quilts that will be loved!
