Before sending me your quilt please do the following:
* Clip all loose threads on back and front of quilt
* Stay stitch around the entire edge of quilt - 1/4 inch or less to deter any seams opening
* Make sure the backing fabric is at least 4-6" larger (all around) than the quilt top Example: a top measuring 66 x 86 would need a backing at least 74 x 94
* Press and square the backing fabric. ( I charge $15.00 for this service)
* Press the top (make sure seams are lying flat and that none change direction in pressing) (I charge $15.00 to $25.00 for this service, depending on the work needed)
* DO NOT pin or baste the quilt in any way. Leave all layers separate
* Mark the top of the quilt with a piece of paper marked "TOP" & pin this to the top with a safety pin
Fill in the Quilting Order Form (see link to left, or on the opposite side of this form) and mail it with the quilt NOTE: If you are going to bring the quilt in, bring this form with you
* I will verify all work with you before starting your project. Should you decide not to continue, your quilt will be returned once I have received return postage (if not included in with quilt already) You are NOT obligated to continue, unless you choose to do so
* Your quilt will be handled with the utmost of care. Each quilt receives it's own space. My work area is smoke and pet free
* Binding - this is an extra charge, depending on type of binding you want. Ask me about pricing NOTE: there is usually enough backing fabric left to make binding... don't purchase if you want same color as backing
Also- Please don't provide thread... I can color match if that is what is wanted. Momma (machine) can be very stubborn (like my Momma was, hence the name for my machine) and is picky as to the type of thread she will use
I have numerous designs for all over quilting... from basic to elaborate. Pricing is determined, partly by what quilt design you choose. It takes from 2 days, up to three weeks to complete a quilt, depending on what is being done, the size of the quilt, and the condition I receive it in (if it has puckers, uneven borders, etc.) Repairs take time (at extra charge). Rush orders are charged extra
NOTE: Momma won't sew on sheets (told you she is a picky machine). Also, using sheets does not make for a good looking result (they are not always square, etc.) I suggest cotton flannel as it is warm, it's soft, the quilt won't slide off the bed... did I mention soft & warm? Otherwise, backing should be of similar fabric as your top is made from (Flannel is an exception)
Ask me about available discounts!
