Artisan Quilting - Preparing Your Quilt
|
| To ensure the highest quality finish: |
- Quilt to be clean with seams pressed (checking
for any seams that need to be re-stitched).
- Backing fabric should be at least 4" longer in
every direction than the quilt top. It should be
clean and ironed.
- Loose threads (especially dark colours) should be
clipped.
- Don't baste or pin the quilt together.
- If your quilt is directional, please pin a note
to indicate which is the top end of the quilt. Do
the same for the backing material.
- Be mindful of your choice of backing material
with regard to thread colour being visible on the
back of the quilt. This may be desirable for you -
or it may not.

Any irregularities (such as a pucker in the fabric)
in your quilt may affect the look of the finished
product. I will make every effort to minimize the
effect, but cannot guarantee to remove or hide them.
