HOW TO PREPARE YOUR QUILT FOR LONGARM QUILTING

  • Press quilt top and backing well. Make sure all seams lie flat.

​

  • Trim loose threads.

​

  • Keep the quilt top and backing separate. Do not baste or pin.

​

  • The quilt back should be 4" larger on each side. For example: if the quilt top is 50" x 50" then the quilt backing should be 58" x 58".​​

​

  • Use a wide seam, 1/2" or larger for quilt backing seams.

​​

  • If the quilt top or quilt backing has a top and bottom please mark the top with a piece of paper attached with a pin.
