-Top of Quilt Clip: all of the threads
that poke through the quilt top.
-Top of Quilt Iron: quilt top to achieve flat a uniformed design.
"Pressing" will prevent fabric being stretched out of its original
shape. Use spray starch, a spray bottle with water, or the steam setting
on your iron, which ever method you prefer. Having a quilt that lays flat, is
the goal so that the Long-Arm Quilter can give you the best results possible.
-Back of Quilt Top Inspect: Quilts tops need to have their backs
inspected, so turn them over and look to see if the back of your pieced quilt
top needs some attention too. Quilt backs
consisting of lots of threads can be clipped and seams can be ironed flat on
the back of your quilt top, for a better pleasing finished result from the
quilting process.
-Top of Quilt Top Lint: Use a lint brush or lint-tape roller to remove
animal hair, loose threads, lint, etc. from the fabric quilt top.
-Backing Fabric Prep: In order to
"load" your quilt on the long-arm quilting frame for quilting, there
needs to be at least an extra 4 inches of backing fabric on all 4 sides to
attach the backing fabric to the quilt frame. This is very important in
supporting the quilt to the long-arm quilting frame and helps with
"squaring up" the quilt.
-Batting: You are welcome to
bring your own batting with you. Please
do not bring 100% polyester. I usually
carry wide-width-batting so please as what I am currently carrying.
