BATTING
You may supply your own or purchase batting from me. Batting must be at least 4 inches larger than the quilt top on all four sides. I use small business and USA-made American Fiber Products high quality batting. This batting permits finished quilts to be machine washed and dried on the delicate cycle.
Natural Comfort 80% cotton/20% polyester: No chemicals or bleaching. Long staple cotton and soft polyester. Shrinkage 3-5%. 96” wide for $11.25/yard.
100% polyester with thin scrim: 3.8 oz/sq yard. White. Little or no shrinkage. 96” wide for $11.25/yard.
BACKING
Backing must be at least 4 inches larger than the quilt top on all 4 sides. Can be of a single swath or pieced with seam pressed open to lie flatter and load easier. Backing should be neatly ironed. Backing should be squared prior to arrival. Please identify the top of the quilt backing with a safety pin. Additional charges may apply:
Back Pressing: $15 for inadequate ironing
Back Squaring: $15
Back Seaming: $15
THREAD
I use Superior Threads. For best results, I recommend the same thread type and color for the top and bottom. I will match the thread to the color of your quilt unless you identify a specific color.
Polyester: So Fine 50# and Magnifico 40# $4.00 per bobbin used (full or portion)
Cotton: King Tut 40# $4.50 per bobbin used (full or portion)
Custom: If I must purchase other thread to meet your requirements, other charges may apply
QUILT PREPARATION
Quilt tops should be sewn with seams pressed to the side if any ditch stitching is desired. All others can be pressed open or to the side. Quilt tops should be clean, free of loose threads and as square as possible. I will do my best to work in natural quilting imperfections and discuss with you areas of concern.
