Let Me Quilt for You

Tips BEFORE sending your quilt.
Please measure your quilt before adding sashing and borders and cut to these measurements, wavy quilts are often impossible to 'quilt out'! It can result in tucks and puckers. Please see the links for great tips on how to attach sashings and  borders.

Quiltfabrication Borders

.

Trim all threads, dark threads are especially visible under light fabrics. Looped untrimmed threads can get caught around the quilting foot.

Please baste pieced edges to stop the seams coming undone.

Pieced backings: remove selvedges on any seams, 1/2” seam and press OPEN. (selvedges on the outer edges can remain as these give me a straight edge) Backing & batting needs to be a MINIMUM of 5" larger on ALL four sides than the quilt top. Please NO CALICO for backings.

SUE SPARGO quilts - please try to press seams open to reduce bulk, these wool quilts can be very thick & they can distort the quilt when attempting to quilt over them.

                                                   

I now only accept quilts for custom quilting by pre approval.

E2E (edge to edge) Quilting is relatively speedy, cost effective & there are thousands of designs.

E2E quilting designs go from one edge to the other, regardless of any piecing, borders & or applique. The quilting will go OVER any applique & seams. Any embellishments eg; buttons or lace need to be attached AFTER quilting.
