The three layers of your quilt will be loaded on the machine independently of one another. Please do not pin or baste them together. The batting and backing should measure at least eight inches longer and eight inches wider than your quilt top. For example, if your quilt measures "60 x 80", the batting and backing should measure at least "68 x 88".

Press seams well. Be sure the top lies flat. Ripples and "puffy" places will not necessarily quilt flat. The top should be free of embellishments such as buttons and beads. Clip all loose threads and be sure the seams have been pressed. If your quilt has a definite top and you think I might not recognize it, please apply a piece of masking tape to identify it.

If you send batting, please check the package to be sure it is suitable for machine quilting. I offer some of my favorites if you would like to purchase batting from me. Check with me to see what's available.

Please send one yard (or more) of fabric if you would like me to cut and apply binding. I will cut a 2 and a half inch straight grain binding.

A $50 deposit is required to begin work on your quilt. You may either include a check or money order (payable to Sculptured Thread Quilting) in your shipment, or you may use PayPal. Please indicate on your order form which payment method you are using.
