Please Note: Your quilt will be quilted in the condition it is received. Take the time to square, measure and press. Your quilt will be as free of pleats and puckers as the piecing will allow. Fullness and/or puckers within a quilt and its borders cannot be quilted out. I cannot guarantee that puckers and tucks won’t be sewn in. The flatter your quilt top the better the finished quilt will be.

Preparing your quilt for the Long Arm Machine |
- The backing and batting must be at least 4 inches greater than the quilt top on all sides to allow for proper loading onto the frame.
- The quilt top should be trimmed down to final finished size.
- Check to be sure all seams are secure. It is helpful to stay stitch around your entire quilt to ensure seams do not pull apart.
- Use one safety pin to mark the top of the quilt.
- Be sure all extra threads are clipped. Remove all pins, buttons, and other embellishments.
- The quilt top must lay flat. Measure your quilt top across the top, bottom and at the center. These measurements should be the same. If not, there is a possibility that there will be puckers in your finished quilt.
- Backing fabric must be pressed and square with selvages removed from any seams.
