Preparing Your Quilt Top

Prepare the Quilt Top

• Iron and starch all seams flat, paying close attention to bulky seams, which can cause needle breaks during quilting.
• Snip all loose threads.
• Check carefully for any holes or loose seams.
• Make sure your quilt top is square.

Prepare the Backing

• Piece your backing as needed. If you need help with backing piecing, just ask 🙂
• Iron and starch all seams flat.
• Backing should be at least 4 inches larger on all sides than the quilt top.
• Make sure the backing is square.
