Turning your Quilt Tops into Keepsakes

  • Please take the time to snip loose threads from the back of your quilt top.  These may show through the lighter colors of your quilt.

  • Make sure quilt top has been ironed with all the seams pressed properly. Iron back as well. NOTE: On those tops with photo transfers DO NOT iron directly on the transfer as they will become shiny. Iron them with a pressing sheet or towel in between.

  •  If you have a pieced border, for best results, stay stitch 1/4" around the edge of your quilt top.  This helps keep the borders from stretching while being quilted.

  •  Do not baste your quilt. Fold top and backing separately.

  •  If you have a special direction you want the top and the backing to go on then please indicate that with a small piece of paper labeled "TOP", pinned onto the top as well as one on the backing.

  • Please make sure that the backing is approximately 6 inches larger than the top.  It is also very important that the backing be trimmed square.

  •  If you are providing the batting please make sure that it is approximately 4-6 inches larger than the top.

  • Print the Order Form, complete it, sign it and include with your quilt top.

  • Print the provided Label and affix to your package.
