Longarm Quilting Project Preparation

Pins
Spool
Before you mail your project, there are a few things you'll need to do:

​​

  • Make sure your backing fabric is 5" wider on each side and 5" wider on the top and bottom. For instance, if your top is 80" x 80", your backing fabric needs to be at least 90" wide x 90" tall. Buying backing from Snowbird is easy option.

​

  • Clip loose threads from the back side. (of the top of your pieced quilt top) Mostly needed for white background fabrics, The darker fabrics will not show threads. 

​

  • Press your quilt top, backing fabrics do not require pressing. Pin a note to the top of your quilt. Is the backing fabric directional? PIN A NOTE IF IT IS!

​

  • Choose your stitching pattern and list them ranked 1,2,3 on the order form. If you prefer, we can choose for you. 

​

  • Fill out the order form. Print the form and the liability release linked. ​You only need to fill out the liability release once, as it does not expire.  Your first quilt must be mailed in with the completed forms.
