"Checking In" a Quilt:
If you know the design pattern you wish to have quilted as well as the thread
you may drop your quilt off without an appointment. Otherwise, we need you to
make an appointment with Melanie so that she can discuss your options with
you and that you are involved in the design process of your quilt. If you need to
know the cost or have any questions you need answered, we ask that you make
an appointment to check your quilt in.
|
* ALL quilts accepted and placed in line for quilting must be discussed with
Melanie or Alisa.
|
* Call ahead (334) 445-3521 to make an appointment, please don't assume
Melanie will be in. All appointments will be made for after 5:00 pm.

|
* Have Backing cut at least 10 inches larger than your quilt top.
* You must add filler strips to extend backing and if not large enough as per
above. Feel free to use one of our machines if necessary.
* Lay your quilt out on a flat surface and verify that the quilt (especially the
borders) lay flat. (See fullness disclaimer)
* Have quilt top trimmed to final finished size. We will not "cut-down" a quilt
top.
* Remove all excess loose threads.
* Remove ALL pins, buttons and/or other embellishments.
* Have quilt top and backing fabric completely pressed, making sure ALL seams
are pressed flat.
* Selvage edge of fabric should be removed from seams on backing. The
selvage edge will shrink differently when laundered causing later puckering at
the seam line.
|
* Use one safety pin to mark the top of the quilt top.
* Verify that all seams are complete and that no open seams and/or holes are
present.
* Have ALL exteriors seam endings back-stitched to prevent them from pulling
open. This also applies to the backing fabric if it has been pieced.
|
* Your quilt top must be completed. The quilt top and the backing must meet all
of the above preparations BEFORE it will be assigned a place in our list.
