Prepare your QUILT TOP for the LONGARM 

• Quilt top should be trimmed down to the final finished size.  We will not cut or trim your quilt top.  We only trim the quilt once the quilting process is finished at no charge.  All of the remaining backing fabric that is trimmed off will be returned to you.
• Backing fabric must be 10 inches longer and 10 inches wider than the quilt top.  This is so the longarm machine head can reach the absolute edges of your quilt top, bottom and sides.
• All fabric selvages should be removed from the backing fabric.  The selvage is woven much tighter than the fabric and if not trimmed off, the backing fabric will not lay flat.
• If you quilt top does not have an outside boarder, we highly recommend that you "stay stitch" 1/8 to 3/16 inch around the edge of your entire quilt to ensure the seams do not pull apart.  This stitching will be hidden once your binding is attached to the quilt.
• Trim all loose threads on the top and underside of your quilt top.
• Press your quilt top and backing fabric.
• Most important in the preparation process is to remove all pins.

PLEASE NOTE, we can not quilt EDGE TO EDGE on quilt tops that have been embellished with buttons, charms, sequins, couching or any other embellishments.
