For the best possible results for your quilt, please follow the tips below:
Press your quilt top and backing well to ensure it’s ready to be quilted.
Batting and backing must be 3-4” larger on each side to allow for proper loading on the longarm frame.
Clip all loose threads and dog ears. They can cause a shadow effect behind lighter fabrics if not properly removed.
If your quilt is heavily pieced right to the edges, it is a good idea to stay stitch 1/8” in from the outer edge to ensure no unraveling of stitching.
Wait until after quilting is complete to add embellishments such as crystals, buttons or beads.
Consider matching your batting to your quilt colour. For example, quilts with a lot of white should use a
white batting. The same applies for quilts with a lot of black.
