Best Practices
For the top
-
Make sure your top is square.
-
Snip all threads
-
Iron all seams flat
-
Iron your top with starch.
-
Check for any holes or loose seams.
-
Do NOT wash
For the backing
-
Make sure the backing is square.
-
Wash and iron with starch.
-
Snip all threads after washing.
-
Your backing extends at least 6 inches from each side from the top. The longarm requires additional space at the top, bottom, and sides to securely hold the backing.
e.g., if your quilt top is 50 x 50
your backing needs to be 62 x 62
For the binding
-
The binding must be exactly 1 3/4 inches wide.
-
Do not iron in half
-
Sew diagonal seams
-
Iron all seams in one direction (do not iron open)
