Trim quilt down to final finished size; we will not cut or trim any quilt top
Make sure all quilt corners are squared at a 90-degree angle
Measure quilt across top, middle, and bottom. These measurements should be equal; If not, there could be puckers in the finished quilt
Make sure all seams are secured. Stitch around entire quilt top 1/4” from edge to secure edges
Use one safety pin to mark the top of the quilt
Quilt should be free of pins, buttons (or other embellishments), hairs, and threads that need clipping
Quilt should be clean and free of odors, including cigarette odors; we will refuse quilts that are permeated with cigarette smoke
Quilt top and backing should be pressed, with all seams lying flat
Make sure backing and batting are at least 8-10” larger than top or 4- 5 inches wider than the top's width and length on each side/edge. Backing should be squared (see image below)
Bring top, backing, and batting in as separate layers
Only quilt-quality fabrics will be accepted; we will not quilt sheets, upholstery, or decorator fabrics
If you pre-wash your quilt top fabrics, we highly suggest you pre- wash your quilt back also
