What is the process for getting a quilt finished?
We’re excited to help you finish your quilt! Here’s what happens next:
Step 1 - Book a free appointment
Start by scheduling your quilt finishing appointment on our scheduling page. This ensures we reserve the time needed to bring your quilt to life. Appointments usually take 15-30 minutes to finalize your choices. Plan your quilting by seeing your design options on our quilt designs page.
Step 2 - Prepare your backing and batting.
These need to be 6 inches larger than your quilt top. Keep it easy and use our batting and backing calculator to instantly see how large to cut your pieces. There is more information on preparing your quilt top here.
Step 3 - Decide on binding.
Our service is a double fold binding by machine for a durable, clean finish. Use our calculator to see how many strips to cut and how much fabric you will need. This accounts for mitering and joining the strips. Not sure how to cut your binding? No problem! Bring your fabric, and I’ll cut it for you here. Need to know more about binding? See this binding page.
Step 4 - What to Bring to Your Appointment
Your quilt top and backing — the easiest way to transport them is to place them on hangers after you have finished that final pressing. There is no need to baste your layers together. Simply hang your quilt top on one hanger and your backing on another.
Batting - You may bring your own, or choose from the options I have available. Please read my thoughts on batting here.
No thread is needed – I’ll provide that for you.
I look forward to seeing your beautiful quilt soon!
