Guidelines for Good Results

Before Leaving your quilt:

• You can call ahead to reserve a place in line for your quilt.  We estimate turn-around to be approximately 4-6 weeks from drop-off.

• Quilts should be flat; ripples cannot be quilted out.

• Square your quilt.  Quilt will not load properly on frame and quilting results are uncertain.

• Press seams flat on wrong side.  Note:  Pressing during each phase of construction will make final pressing more effective.

• Trim threads on right side of quilt.

• Mark the Center top of your quilt and/or backing fabric with a safety pin, if pattern is directional.

• Backing must be 8” longer and wider than quilt top.  It must be assembled with selvages removed, seams pressed and squared.  Note:  It is recommended that if your quilt top fabric has been washed, your backing fabric should also be washed. 

• If you have applied a label to the back of quilt before quilting is done, the label will be quilted.

• We will help you choose the correct thread and batting for your project.

• We will recommend an appropriate quilting pattern for your quilt.

• We require a 50% deposit at time of drop-off.
• We baste your quilt on the frame before we work on it.
• We trim extra fabric to within two inches of  top.   We return all extra fabric to you.
• We will call you when your quilt is ready.
