Backing Requirements

What size should my backing be?
Here’s an easy way to remember: Four-for-four! I require the backing to be 4″ extra ON ALL 4 SIDES. For example, if you have a quilt top that is 60″ x 80″, your backing should measure at least 68″ x 88″. It can be bigger, but not smaller. Extra fees may apply if I need to put additional time and effort into getting your quilt ready to load. If you have questions, please ask.
I’m passionate about being able to give you results you will love. Teamwork! 🙂

Please press your top and backing for me so that it’s nice and tidy and ready
for me to load. Please also clip stray threads or raveling fabrics as best as you can. You might not be able to get them all, but to prevent dark threads from shadowing through your quilt top, please don’t skip this important step!

Tidy It Up!

Quilting Choice

I want this to be fun for you and not overwhelming! You have the option of
having me make the quilting decisions for you. It all depends on your purpose
for the quilt, sometimes “done” is best!

Fill out the form to get started

Please fill out one form per quilt if requesting service on multiple quilts
Quilts enter my work queue in the order I actually receive them.
Please include the width and height of your quilt top in inches.
Please include any information that you'd like to share with me about your top such as pattern used, the function of the quilt, and/or the recipient. This can be as open-ended as you'd like. Feel free to ask any questions you have. I'll use this information to best help you when I reply by email.
Leave this space blank if there is no deadline.
My design preference is to match the thread to the fabrics in your quilt that are lightest in value, using neutrals a lot.
Most of the batting I stock is on a 93" roll. I will use only what is needed for your quilt (smallest side + a 5" margin) and charge per inch. For example, if you have a 60" x 80" quilt, I would cut 65" inches of the batting of your choice.
Please add your mobile number if you're permitting me to text you (i.e. questions, photos, updates). If not, leave blank and we'll communicate through email.
I'd love to promote your beautiful work! Fill this out only if you are permitting me to share pictures of your quilt on social media. Please include the pattern name, pattern designer and/or any special fabrics your quilt features. If you need to keep the project secret, please indicate that as well!
I use USPS Priority shipping to return quilts (if not arranging pick up locally). It comes with $50 of insurance and a tracking number. Please indicate above if you would like me to purchase additional insurance on your behalf (added to the invoice when work is complete). As a guideline, select the estimated amount of invoice plus your materials cost in the quilt.
In order to give you the best results possible, please ensure your backing fabric is a total of 8" wider and 8" longer than your quilt top. This gives me at least 4" of margin on each side of the quilt top. Your backing can be larger but not smaller
