Always
make sure that you have squared your quilt top and your
quilt backing material. If there are lots of pieces in
the outside border of the top, be sure to trim it up
evenly. We have to pin the top and bottom of your
quilt to rollers. If it isn't square or trimmed, it
will not mount straight and therefore you could end up with
puckers or little tucks because of excess or uneven fabric.
(Cost to square up
quilt top ~ $10; cost to square up backing ~ $10.)

Pressing
your quilt top and backing is also important. If you
have properly pressed during the construction of the quilt
top, you will have no problem doing a final pressing before
sending it to us. Pressing will make your quilt top
quilt more easily and look so much nicer. Don't forget
to press the backing so that no creases will form on the
back.
(Cost to press quilt
top ~ $15; cost to press quilt back ~ $10.)

Some
quilts require that the backing fabric be pieced. Remember
to remove all the selvedges as they are not woven in the
same way as the rest of the fabric.
(Cost to piece backing
fabric ~ $15.)

Repairs
to poor piecing or rippled borders are charged by the
hour. We have a document describing the proper way to
measure and sew border on onto your quilt. If you
would like one, please email
or call us ~ 603-778-6994.
(Cost for repairs ~
$15 per hour.)

Backing
and batting must be 4 inches larger on all sides than
quilt top.

Mark
the top by pinning a piece of paper at the top of the quilt
so we will know where to being.

Do
not pin or baste.
