Your quilt top should be pressed and all loose threads removed from front and back (seams that do not lay flat my cause tucks, pleats or fullness).  Squaring your quilt before sewing on your borders will also help prevent wavy edges.  Placing your quilt top on a hanger will help to keep if free from wrinkles and fold lines. Your quilt backing and batting must be 3-5 inches wider on each side and 3-5” longer on each end than the quilt top.  Remove the selvage ends on your backing fabric and stitch your quilt back with a ½” seam allowance and press seam(s) open (leaving your selvage attached may cause puckers).  Place on a separate hanger from quilt top.  Bed sheets are not accepted for quilt backing. The quilting charge is based on the square inches of your quilt top.  Measure your quilt top in inches and multiply the length x the width.  The price per square inch is determined by the density and complexity of the quilting and custom work.  Any batting purchased from me will be an addition to the quilting price.  A setup fee may apply on small quilting jobs. I look forward to helping you put the finishing touches on your special quilt.
