Edge-to-edge quilting

A continuous design brings consistent texture across the entire quilt. Contact us for current pricing and turnaround time.

Custom quilting

Custom work is quoted for each quilt according to the design, detail and quilting you choose.

Prepare your quilt top

Apply borders squarely and make sure the top lies flat.
Clip loose threads and press the quilt top.
Reduce bulky seam allowances where possible.
Secure the outer edge with stitching or serging 1/8–1/4 inch from the edge.
Do not layer the top, batting and backing before drop-off.

Prepare your backing

Allow 3–5 inches beyond the quilt top on every side.
For Minky backing, allow at least 5 inches on every side.
Trim the top and bottom edges straight and square.
Press the backing before bringing it in.
