Quilt Preparation

For the best results:

Backing and batting (if you are providing) should be at least 4” longer and wider than the quilt top.
Make sure the quilt top and back are square, and that wavy borders are corrected.
Make sure the quilt top is pressed and seams are pressed flat.
Trim threads (especially dark threads) on both the front and back of the quilt top.
Be sure to mark the top of the quilt (if applicable)

Pricing

In Stitches charges by the square inch. To calculate the total square inches of your quilt, multiply the length of the quilt by the width of the quilt. For example, 60 inches by 80 inches is 4,800 square inches.
