preparing your quilt

What you have to do:

Backing and wadding

  • Purchased from Rainbow Patchwork
  • 5" extra around entire quilt

Ironing

  • Ensure your quilt is ironed
  • Quilt top should lay flat
  • Seams should be pressed neatly on the back with no twists

Threads

  • Clip as many threads as possible
  • Dark threads can show through light fabrics

Borders

Possible extra costs

  • Hexagon quilt with a non-linear edge
  • Peepers that require additional tacking

If the above criteria are not present, a quilt either takes longer or is more difficult to do.

In view of this, you may be charged more to help cover the extra time.
