The backing and batting are required to be 8 inches longer and wider than your quilt top. For example...if your quilt measures 48” x 90”, the backing and batting need to be at least 56’ x 98”. Cut all loose threads. Dark threads behind a light colored fabric will detract from your quilts appearance Press the quilt top and backing. Press backing seams open. Fold and hang it on a hanger. Do not baste or pin it together. If the fabrics of your quilt top have been washed, be sure to wash your backing and sashing. If your batting is all cotton and you do NOT like the puckered look (cotton will shrink a bit when washed), pre-wash your batting. Call or e-mail if you have any questions. sugarcreekquilting@yahoo.com An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. |
