· Clip and remove all loose threads so as not to get them caught in the machine which may cause tearing in your quilt.

· Press quilt top completely (backing also if included) so that all seams lay as flat as possible

· Backing should be at least 3-4" larger than top on all sides

· Batting should be the same size as the back (if included)

· Make sure you have marked the top of the quilt with a safety pin and that there are no other pins or needles in the quilt

· Keep in mind that puckers, tucks and stretched areas cannot be quilted out, however, I will do my best to blend them as much as possible.

· Don’t pin or baste anything together

· Pieced border tops should have a 1/4" stay stitch on all sides to help prevent stretching during quilting

Note: Any Additional Comments you may have that I need to know before I begin quilting your top may be noted on the order form under the comment section.

You may provide your own batting, however, make sure it is of machine quilting quality as some battings are great for hand quilting but not recommended for machine quilting.  Also, make sure it is at least 4" larger than your quilt top on all 4 sides.
