Always Keep Quilting
Quilt Preparation

important if the quilt is directional

- Trim all threads (including on wrong side of quilt top)
Backing

open.
- Remove all selvages and press
- Backing should be at least 8" longer and wider than quilt top
- Square all edges and mark top of backing with a safety pin
(Cost to piece backing - $10 per seam)
