Preparing your top and back:

To help insure the best possible outcome in the least time please prepare your top and back,  Here are a few guide lines that will help both of us.


Marking:

  • If the top has a "top" in relation to the back please mark it with a safety pin, also mark the back in the same manner
  • If the top is to be centered in the back please include that information in the package.

Top Preparation:

  • Check seams (especially edges)
  • Remove excess and long threads (they may show through on adjacent lighter material
  • Square up as best as possible (we can't square up a top on the machine)
  • Iron, Please iron seams to one side or the other

Back Preparation:

  • You have spent a lot of time and effort on the top, chose a back that complements your efforts.
  • A figured back will usually enhance the top mush more than a plain solid color.
  • Press seams (you may press these seams open if you desire)
  • Back must be 8 inches wider and 8 inches longer than top, this is to allow us to mount it to the machine
  • Flat sheets generally do not make the best backs, we will work with them if you follow these rules.  Remove all seams, this is a must, iron creases out.  We charge an additional $15.00 to prepare an unprepared flat sheet.

Packing for Shipment:

  • Please do not pin your top, batting, or back together
  • Are top and back marked for proper orientation?
  • Small top and backs will fit in a large USPS jiffy pack
  • Place project in bag for added protection
  • Include contact information and return address
  • Notify us of its shipment
  • We will contact you upon its arrival
