To avoid extra costs please prepare your quilt as required below.
Your quilt top should be flat and well ironed with all seems pressed well. All loose threads on the back should be trimmed away. (You don't want thread veins showing through)
Backing fabric should be well ironed. A custom quilt top will require backing fabric to be 5" Wider than the quilt top all around.
For Example: a 90" x 70" quilt top for custom work will require a 100" x 80" backing fabric. This will allow for ruler work etc.
Backing fabric should be well ironed. Your quilt backing fabric for an Edge-to-Edge quilt top should be a minimum of 4" wider all around the whole quilt top. This makes clamping the quilt easier and allows room for the machine base to move without obstruction.
Example: A 90" x 70" quilt top should have backing fabric measuring 98" x 78"
Do not under any circumstances pin, baste or glue the backing & wadding to the quilt top. Due to the way the quilt top, backing and wadding are loaded on to my long arm machine all 3 pieces are required to be separate from one another.
I only carry an Australian made wadding by Matildas own. This can be purchased by the meter. I'm happy to work with anything that you provide, but please be aware of quality...poor quality wadding will split/separate, be thinner in areas, and can cause bearding due to lack of scrim. It would be a shame after all the hard work, cost of fabric and hours that you put into your quilt top to fill it with poor quality wadding. Wadding should be at least 4" Wider than the quilt top all around
The method used to work out the cost of an Edge to Edge quilt design is as follows.
Example: A 90" x 70" quilt top is calculated at
90" x 70" = 6300
6300/144 = 43.75 Square Feet
43.75 x $4.85 = $212.19 For an all over Edge-to-Edge design
