transforming your tops into beautiful quilts
Tips for Preparing your quilt top, quilt back & batting
QUILT TOP
Please indicate the top of your quilt top.
- Clip all loose thread. Dark threads will show through light fabrics.
- Press your top. Starch or sizing are recommended.
- No embellishments should be placed on quilt top
Shipping
I suggest using a shipping carrier that can track your package, such as USPS or UPS.Wrapping each item in plastic sealable bag to ensure that your fabric is not damaged by any moisture during shipment.- Add a piece of paper with your name/address/email inside each wrapped bag.
Quilt Back
Please make backs 8" longer and wider than quilt top.- Remove any selvages.
Please indicate the top of your quilt back. Pinning a piece of paper that says 'TOP/Backing' works great.Please do not use bed sheets as your quilt back.
