- How to prepare your quilt top:
- Trim and square up your quilt tops and backs.
- The quilt top should lay flat to avoid bunching or puckers.
- Press all seams flat or they may cause folds or bunching on the top of your quilt.
- Remove loose threads from the quilt top. Dark threads may show through lighter fabrics.
- If the quilt top is directional, mark the top with a safety pin.
- If you wash your top fabrics, we recommend you wash and iron your backing fabric.
- Make sure your back and your batting is 8″-10″ wider and longer than your top.
- Make sure your seams are secure, especially on borders.
