Most people ship via USPS Priority Mail with delivery confirmation and signature .
Once I receive your project I will call you right away to discuss ideas and prices and time estimate.
If your quilt top has a definite 'top edge' be sure to safety pin a note indicating that. Also, please note that your batting and quilt backing needs to be 4" wider on each edge than your quilt top. So if your top measures 60" x 80"; your batting & backing need to each measure 68" x 88". This extra fabric and batting allows me to load your quilt properly onto my longarm machine. If your backing fabric has a directional print or special blocks or labels please be sure to safety pin a note to that effect.
Your quilt top should be pressed and trimmed of any loose threads. Remember, those loose threads on the backside of your quilt top can give your quilt a 'varicose vein' look if they are not removed prior to quilting. If there are an excessive amount of loose threads they may incur an extra labor charge to remove them.
Your backing fabric and batting should be square on all 4 edges to allow the best alignment with your quilt top. If your backing and batting need to be resquared by me there will be a labor charge to cover that. For best results be sure to trim of the selvedge edge if you have a seam in your backing fabric. Most people like to use a 1/4" to 1/2" seam allowance and press the seam to one side.
If you wish to purchase yardage of batting and/or backing fabric from me I will size and square up your batting/backing fabric at no additional charge.
I will call you again when your quilt is complete. I can then ship your quilt back to you or if you live in the area you may pick it up at my studio.
Payment for services and shipping are due within 5 days of your project completion.
