• Rush fee: $40 Life happens. Sometimes we don’t finish our projects soon enough and the gift event is looming. If I think I can meet your deadline, I will charge you the fee and accept the quilt. If I can’t meet your deadline, I’ll let you know right away so you can make other plans.

• Backing seams should run parallel to the way the quilt will be loaded on the rollers if possible.  It is better to have the seams parallel to the roller bar to avoid a bump or buildup of fabric when the backing is rolled onto the roller.   

• Remove all selvedge edges on backing seams. 

• Your quilt top/back/batting should be square, pressed and lay flat. Loose threads should be trimmed off.  Do Not Layer your quilt. Quilt tops and backings that are not square and pressed can cause tucks and puckering when quilting.    

• Use 1/2-inch seam allowance for backings and press seams open. 

• The batting and backing of tops that are to be quilted need to be at least a total of 10" larger in length and in width (5” on each side). Example:  A quilt top of 64 x 90 should have backing/batting that measure 74 x 100 inches. The larger the backing the better for loading to the machine. 
• I can only worry about what is on the top and matching up patterns on the backing is NOT possible.
• Borders should be measured and applied to the quilt top based on the measurement…not applied and trimmed to fit.  Borders can easily stretch when sewn to the quilt top and stretched borders and this will create tucks and puckers!   (We don't want those!)
• Scalloped borders should be cut after quilting is completed. 
• The quilt top should be free of embellishments, such as buttons, charms, pins, etc. Please keep in mind with longarm quilting, stitches will be sewn over all appliqués/embroidery. 
• I use only the thread I supply that is designed for machine quilting and works with my longarm; you choose the color or color family, i.e.  blue, white, green, etc. You may also elect to allow “quilters choice” and I will decide on your behalf.

• If you need to have the quilt done by a certain date, please be sure to let me know.  If I cannot accommodate your deadline, I will let you know up front.   

• All quilts will be returned untrimmed.   If you need me to return your quilt trimmed there will be an extra charge.
