In order for me to do my best work please make sure of the following:

• Backing is at least 10 inches wider and 10 inches longer than your quilt top
• Back and front are pressed
• Your loose threads are trimmed
• Your quilt and backing is square
• Your borders lay flat with no wave
• Your seams lay flat, preferably pressed open with minimal bulk
• If your quilt is directional please mark the top
• If you are supplying batting please make sure it is as big as the backing
• If your backing is pieced please be aware of seam placement as your quilt top will be centered on the backing width. Preferably have your backing seams run horizontally.
• Please no shag or minky backing fabrics.
• When your quilt is perfect my quilting is perfect!
