LEGACY QUILTERS

Quilt Preparation Instructions

Quilt top should be squared .
Trim all loose threads.
Quilt top must be free of all embellishments.
Be sure that all stitching is secure and will withstand being pulled. Stay stitch (1/4″ or less) around the edge of your quilt top if pieced to the edge or if you notice fraying.
Press and make sure your seams and borders lay flat.
Once your quilt top is properly prepared for quilting, fold carefully or hang on a hanger.

Backing and Batting must be a min. of 8″ wider and 8″ longer then your quilt top.
A one piece backing allows for best results.
If you piece your backing, please remove all salvages. Use a 1/2″ seam allowance and press seam open. Position seam to run horizontal to the top of your quilt.
Flannel backing has a different stretch factor than cotton, so this may have an effect on the final results.
Make sure the backing is squared and properly pressed.
Once your quilt back is properly prepared for quilting, fold carefully or hang on a hanger.

Batting should be a min. of 8″ wider and 8″ longer then your quilt top.
Batting must be squared, steamed and or pressed. The excessive creases could show through and affect the final results.
Once your batting is properly prepared for quilting, fold carefully or hang on a hanger.
