Quilt Prep

A finished quilt can be such a treasure. Here are some critical points to make sure the finished quilt looks the best it can:

• QUILT TOP
• Quilt top should be square and should be able to lie flat on a hard surface. 
• Clip threads on the top of your quilt. Threads can get caught and cause issues when quilting. Press (lift up iron) the quilt top instead of ironing as it may s-t-r-e-t-c-h your quilt.
• QUILT BACK
• Quilt back should be square and should be able to lie flat on a hard surface.
• If pieced, use pieces with the cut along the grain to avoid stretching.
• The back should be 4" bigger than width and length of the quilt top (2" on all sides).
