| What is Longarm Quilting? |
Longarm quilting is a technique used to stitch together the quilt top, batting, and backing fabric layers using a longarm quilting machine. This process creates intricate quilting patterns and designs.
|
| What is the advantage of using a longarm quilting service? |
Longarm quilting services offer the advantage of professional quilting expertise and the use of specialized longarm quilting machines, which can efficiently quilt any size quilt with intricate designs.
|
| How do I prepare my quilt for longarm quilting? |
Before sending your quilt to a longarm quilter, ensure that your quilt top is neatly pieced and pressed, the backing fabric is at least 4-6 inches larger on all sides than the quilt top, and the batting is trimmed to the same size as the quilt top. If you are in need of batting, we can provide it at the same rate sold in store.
|
| What is the expected turnaround time? |
Our turnaround time for longarm quilting services can vary depending on our quilters' workload and complexity of the quilting design. We often say to expect around 4 weeks, with the possibility of a quicker completion time. Of course, quality is always the utmost priority.
