| Preparing Your Quilt For
Machine Quilting |
Top 1. Press the back of your Top and make
sure that all seams pressed flat on the back and facing the desired direction
(to one side). (This is very important if the quilt requires Stitch
in the Ditch for stabilization.) 2. To be >varicose vein free= trim all trailing threads. 3. Stay stitch 1/4 inch in from the edge around the
perimeter of your Top. (This keeps the seams from "Popping" and
prevents stretching when attached to the canvas on the rollers.) 4. Indicate the Top (as opposed to the bottom) with
a piece of paper marked "Top" pinned with a safety pin. 5. Gently fold your top & put on a hanger(if shipping,
gently fold separately from the backing & batting). Please do not baste the layers together! Backing 1. Choose only 100% pre-washed cotton for
your backing. 2. Remove all selvages from seams. Use
a 2 inch seam when piecing, & press them open. 3. Backing and Batting need to be at least 4
to 6 inches larger than the Top on all sides, and be square (90
degree corners). If you piece the
backing, please make sure all pieces are the same length. Borders Make your quilt fit the borders, instead
of your borders fitting the quilt. Measure for your borders through the
center of your quilt, & cut your borders to that length. Then mark
both the border strip & the quilt edge in eighths. Match the marks & ease
the quilt into the borders. Remember: The better job you do on preparation,
the better job I can do for you. |
