- Do NOT layer or baste quilt layers together. This will be done on the machine
- Trim all loose threads on top & backing
- Check that there are no frayed or unsewn seams
- Check that the Seams are pressed in the proper direction
- Make sure Borders & Top are not Wavy
- Make sure your corners are square
- Backstitch the outside seams or topstitch the entire outside edge at 3/16”
- Quilt top and backing are pressed
- Please mark the top of your quilt with a safety pin and note paper so we can see how you see your quilt
- No embellishing please. The quilt cannot be quilted properly with obstacles in the way. Add them later
- Please refrain from using sheets as your backing. They have a tighter weave and the fabric is not the same quality as quilting fabric
- All backing selvages must be trimmed at the seams.
- Use 1/2” seams on backing, if possible. For more secure seam, backstitching at ends.
