Please follow these guidelines to ensure that your quilt is ready for longarming...
- Your quilt backing must measure a minimum of 8 inches wider and 8 inches longer than your quilt top. This will ensure that there is enough extra fabric to load your quilt on the frame.
- Check that your quilt is free of loose threads and press your top if necessary.
- Remove all embellishments like buttons, crystals etc. from your quilt top unless you are requesting custom quilting.
- If you choose to provide your own batting please ensure that is also 8 inches wider and 8 inches long than your quilt top. Should we feel that your batting is not appropriate for your quilt we will advise you. We have top quality Hobbs 80/20 batting in stock and available at a reasonable price.
