Quilt Prep
Besides your tender loving care during the piecing process, Quilt Prep is the second biggest factor in the outcome of the final product. Especially if you're not familiar with the longarming process, there can be a few differences that you want to be aware of before I have your top in-hand.
TL;DR: The Biggies
8" Extra
I need 8" extra width and height to your backing compared to the quilt top for loading and tension testing.
Press It Real Good
Press, press, press your final quilt top before you gently fold it to deliver to me. Often quilters forget the very last, big seam.
Snip, Snip
Optional but recommended if it'll bother you - Trim extra shaggy threads, especially if they're dark and you have a light backing.
Think dark bra, white shirt.
