Quilt Preparation

  • Backing & batting need to 6 inches larger than the quilt top on all sides
  • Trim all threads on top & backing
  • Press top & backing, checking seams & edges and repair if needed
  • Do not pin or baste layers together
  • Square up top & backing to ensure ease of loading onto the frame
  • Mark top of the quilt, batting, & backing separately with a safety pin, if necessary
  • Use the Quilt Prep Checklist so you know you have what you need

Quilt Prep Checklist

If you need batting, I carry Quilters Dream batting.  Quilters Dream batting is available in cotton, poly, wool, or a cotton/poly blend.  Quilters Dream batting also has various weights from thin to thick.

All quilting & finishing is completed in a smoke-free and currently pet free environment. Please follow the preparation instructions given to ensure the best possible results.  I will confirm the estimated quilting fee with you before any work is started.

Tops are quilted in the order they are received or by appointment.

I am easily accessed from both I 93 and I 495 near the Massachusetts/New Hampshire border.
