Plain Jane Quilting

 

Piece the front 

If you are planning on using buttons or other embellishments it is best to add them after the quilt is quilting.  Some appliques are okay to add, but not all appliques can be quilted through.  Make sure to clip all threads and ensure that there are no holes in any seams.

 

Select the batting 

Batting costs extra so feel free to bring your own.  If you would like to use the wonderful batting we offer, make a selection from the available options on the pricing page. When cutting your batting, make sure it is at least 3” bigger all the way around the quilt.  (Ex. If your top is 60×60, batting would need to be at least 66×66)

 

The backing

Make sure your backing is a total of 8" wider and 8″ longer than the front of your quilt (If your top is 60×60, backing needs to be at least 68×68).  This is extremely important because it allows me to quilt the front to the edge and sometimes I need a little more room. If you do not have enough backing, or it is only a little bigger I may not be able to quilt the whole top.
