Batting is extra, thread is included in the fee

This fee includes:

• Sometimes ironing both top and backing;
• Cut the batting;
• Install the backing, batting and top on the frame; adjust the side clips;
• Choose the colour of thread for top and backing, wind bobbins;

This process takes about an hour

Next:

• Choosing the best quilting design for your quilt for borders, inner borders, block
• Machine quilting the whole piece – the time needed for this depends on the density of the quilting, anywhere between six to ten hours
• After completion, check top and bottom to make sure no area was forgotten
• Remove quilt from frame

Common problems encountered during machine quilting – wavy borders!!

Please measure your borders BEFORE sewing them unto the quilt. Also, if possible, cut inner borders and borders on the LENGTH of the fabric. This process will totally eliminate wavy borders. A bit of a wave can sometimes be evenly distributed and quilted out. But don’t count on it being quilted away every time. Take the time to measure, cut and sew borders properly. It’s the recipe for a perfectly flat quilt! Every time!

Batting is available at the store so no need to bring it with you top and backing. My favorite batting is Hobbs 80/20. Wool and thin polyester battings are also good choices that we carry.

Take the time to browse on the many pieces I have quilted in the past to give you an idea of the type of work I do. Let me turn your quilt top into a piece of art!
