Here at the Sewing Source we offer longarm quilting services with a wide variety of all over quilting patterns to choose from.
 
Preparing your quilt for quilting:
We ask that you bring us your quilt as a separate top and back (we carry Quilters Dream batting in the store). Your backing & batting must be larger than your top. We prefer that it be at least 10 inches bigger than your quilt top, (meaning if your top is 60" x 70" we need your backing & batting to be 70" x 80"). If you have extra fabric, you don't need to cut it off, we're able to just roll it onto the machine and it's not in the way. However, we request that the edges of your back are straight to facilitate the loading process.

We also ask that you check to make sure that there is minimal 'fullness' in your borders and your quilt is as square as possible. In extreme cases, when your quilt is not square it can lead to wrinkles, folds, or waves in your quilt top. A quick check to see if your quilt is fairly square is to fold it in quarters and see if the outside edges line up well. Or, you can take a square edge such as a ruler or a large piece of paper and place it on one of your corners. Alternatively, you can lay your quilt flat on the floor. If there is a wrinkle that you seem to chase around the outside edge and can't get to lay flat then you've got a bit of a fullness problem. We are always willing to help correct problems such as these. Please give us a call at the shop to schedule a time to stop in.

Please press or starch your quilt so that there aren't any wrinkles, and the seams lay flat. 

There may be a surcharge for any seam fixing, thread clean up, or quilt squaring and border fixing that we would have to do to be able to mount the quilt top onto the machine.
