Preparation of your quilt for Longarm
Machine Quilting or Basting:

1. The backing/wadding should also be at least 4 inches
larger than the quilt top on all sides.

2. The quilt top should have all loose threads removed.

3. The backing (if supplied) and top should be pressed.

4.   The backing should have straight sides and square
corners even if the quilt top has shaped edges or rounded
corners.

Quilt Backing:

1. The backing needs to be of a good quality cotton.

2.   It can be pieced or plain;
However, if backing is joined together with a seam, please
ensure that a generous ½ inch seam is used rather than
the standard quilting ¼ inch seam. This is necessary
due to the backing being under some tension whilst on
the Longarm Machine.
