Quilt Preparation Guide
Before your quilt arrives at the studio or is loaded on a longarm machine, please ensure the following preparation steps are completed.
Required Preparation
Quilt Top
- Quilt top is pressed
- Loose threads are removed
- Seams are secure and not open
Required Preparation
Backing & Batting
- Backing is square
- Backing extends at least 4" beyond quilt top on all sides
- Batting is cut to appropriate size for full coverage
Why this matters:
Proper preparation ensures smooth loading on the longarm frame, reduces tension issues, and prevents delays during both rental sessions and professional quilting services.
Well-prepared quilts produce cleaner stitching, better edge consistency, and a more efficient studio experience for everyone.
