PREPARE YOUR QUILT

Preparing your quilt top:

Preparing your quilt top is one of the most important things you will do before sending it to be quilted.

Note: At this time, I am not accepting any quilt tops with applique, buttons, or other embellishments.

Please do the following before sending your quilt:

❤ Press all your seams flat. Whether you press your seams open or to one side, make sure they're flat on the back, especially at intersections.
❤ Remove all thread tails and stray threads, especially on the top.
❤ Do a victory lap: stay stitch 1/8" - 1/4" around the entire outer edge

❤ Make sure your quilt is as square as possible: Most often it's the borders that can cause problems if they're not measured properly before stitching them to the quilt top.

Do not baste your quilt. If you have questions about this, please contact me before shipping your quilt.

Important information on the backing:

Please make sure your backing is 4” bigger on all sides of your quilt top. This means if your quilt top is 58” x 85”, your backing should be 66” x 93”.

Remember to square up your backing. If your backing is in two pieces or more, make sure all the edges are trimmed.

If your quilt top has a top or backing that is directional, please note that on the quilt request form. It is also appreciated if you could safety pin a note to the top of the quilt.

DROP-OFF OR MAIL-IN

Whether you drop-off or mail-in your quilt, rest assured I will handle your quilt with great care. I'll notify you upon arrival and reach out before quilting to confirm details.

Dropping your quilt off:

If you're local, I offer a convenient 'porch drop-off' system for your quilt. Our large covered porch provides protection from the elements, and our Ring doorbell system notifies us when a quilt is dropped off.

Just shoot me a text ahead of time and let me know you're dropping off a quilt.

I prioritize your quilts and never leave them unattended on the longarm while quilting. Since I quilt most days and my husband's work schedule varies—sometimes requiring him to sleep during the day—this system ensures a smooth and secure drop-off process.

When your quilt is finished, I'll contact you and arrange for a time to leave it on the porch for you to pick up.

Shipping your quilt:

1. Complete the Quilt Request form. Please be sure to note any questions.

Your quilt will be shipped to Sandy, Oregon, zip code 97055. Once I receive your quilt request form, I'll be in touch with my address. Expect an email 1-2 business days after I receive your quilt request form (I don't check my emails on weekends).

2. Please package your quilt top and backing in a plastic bag to protect them from the elements. Be sure to include a sheet of paper inside the bag with your name and return address. This helps ensure your quilt can be returned to you in case the box is damaged during shipping.

Return shipping of your quilt:

Your quilt will be shipped back to you in a plastic bag inside a shipping box. I will also provide you with tracking information upon request.

Return shipping will be added to your invoice. I always choose the most affordable option with the quickest delivery time available.

If you desire insurance coverage, you will need to let me know, and I will add the extra coverage at the time of shipping and include it in your invoice.

Please fill out this form before sending your quilt.

So excited to longarm your quilt and give it those perfect finishing touches!
