Preparing Your Quilt for Machine Quilting

 

bullet Pieced quilt tops should be flat, square and parallel. We will try our best but fullness and puckering may not always be able to be quilted out.

bullet Backing fabric must be square and parallel and 6 inches (15cm) longer and 6 inches (15cm) wider than the measurement of the quilt top. Backing fabric must be pre-washed and ironed. If backing is joined, then the seam should be a half inch ironed open and flat.
