PREPARING YOUR QUILT TOP FOR MACHINE QUILTING
-
Press all seams
-
Clip all Loose threads as dark threads may show through on the lighter fabric
-
Check to make sure your quilt is square and lies flat. Fullness and puckers pieced into the quilt top cannot be quilted out
-
Ensure your backing and batting are 4 inches larger on each side than the quilt top eg. quilt top is 60X60 your backing and batting should be 68X68
-
Stay stitch the perimeter with a 1/8th inch seam if you have piano keys or biased edges
-
If your backing is seamed remove all salvaged edges
