Computerized Quilting - Pantographs
2 Cents per Square Inch!
How to prepare a quilt for long arm quilting.
First make sure the quilt top is “square” ( straight 90 degree edges).
Batting should be AT LEAST 3-4″ bigger than the top, so 2″ or so all the way around- also make sure this is “square”.
Backing should be 5-6″ bigger than the top or more. The seam is horizontal when I quilt so it’s fine if it’s much longer than the top, since it’ll be cut off after I’m done quilting it. I.e. a quilt top is 50 x 65, then the batting is bigger and the backing is 56″ wide with 2 WOF sewn together, making it approx 80″ long.
Remove all lint/ loose threads from the back, especially if large parts of the block are white. Trim extra fabrics from edges. Press seams OPEN on back.
If you have appliqued anything on it, let me know!
