The
backing and batting need to be
at least 4" to 6" larger than
your quilt top on all
sides.
Please cut the top and bottom
edges of your backing so they
are straight and square. This
ensures the quilt goes onto the
machine straight. Important for
keeping the design straight with
your top. If this is not done
prior to sending to the quilting
service it may incur a
surcharge.
Cut
off all selvedge’s including
outside edges. NB: All pieced
backings need to be cut along
the straight grain to avoid
stretching and sagging.
All
backing seams should be pressed
open.
Clip
and remove all loose threads
from front side of the quilt
top.
Loose threads may get caught in
the machine which could cause
your quilt to tear.
Dark threads will show through
coloured fabrics when quilted so
be sure to check the back of the
quilt top.
Please
make sure all of your seams are
secure.
Press
your backing and quilt top well
and fold them carefully.
Please do not layer top, batting
and backing before folding.
Fold each piece separately.
Do
not baste your quilt.
Mark the top of each
piece, top and backing, with a
safety pin.
