Please call me so that we can discuss the details of your project.
Preparing your Quilt for the Long Arm
- Be sure that you measure properly when applying your border fabrics to ensure that there are no ripples in your borders. Sometimes it is possible to ease in ripples while long arming. Long arms, however, are not miracle working machines. If your quilt is not flat, even in the borders, it may not be possible to correct this while stitching.
- Remember that “flat” and “square” are not the same thing. Be sure to check that your quilt is square before bringing it to be long armed. Flat means there are no ripples. Square means that the right/left sides are the same length and top/bottom sides are the same length. It is possible to have a flat quilt that is not square. Make sure that your quilt tops are both flat and square before you drop them off with me.
- I will measure your quilt when you bring it to me. Since I charge by the square inch, it is important that we both agree on the size.
- Depending on the density of the quilting stitches, you can possibly lose and inch or two in the quilting process. If it is important that your finished quilt be a very precise size, I would recommend adding and extra wide border fabric that can be trimmed after the long arm process is finished.
- Be sure that every seam is secure and there is no need for repairs.
- Clip all threads on both the front and the back of your quilt – especially if there are lighter colored fabrics in the top. I charge extra for clipping threads. Also, once the quilt is loaded in the long arm, there is no trimming on the back anymore!
- Mark the top edge of the quilt top with a safety pin if the direction matters to you.
- Press your quilt top and backing fabrics. If any excessive creases require pressing, there will be an additional charge.
- Do not layer your top, batting and backing. They are loaded onto the machine separately.
- Quilt backing and batting must be at least 6 inches wider on each side, top and bottom than your quilt top.
- Trim the top and bottom of your backing fabric so they are straight and square. If your backing is pieced, be sure it is flat.
- Mark the top edge of your backing with a safety pin if direction matters.
