Our quilting Service

So… you've finished sewing your fabric together to make a quilt top and now you need to add backing and wadding to turn it into an heirloom quality quilt that will be used for years to come.

Many people find this part of the process either too complex or not something that their sewing machine can handle.

Let us turn your top panel into a beautiful quilt by adding the backing and wadding for you, then putting the whole lot together with our purpose built sewing machine.

Requirements

Quilt Preparation - Have your quilt backing pressed. Please remove selvedges and ensure that the backing seam runs horizontally. Mark the right side of both top and backing with a safety pin if needed.

Backing - We usually carry in stock around 25 different 240cm wide backing fabrics. Of course, you may supply your own if you'd prefer. Please ensure that there is at least 10cm excess on all sides to allow for stretching in the frame. Please ensure that all backing is ironed and wrinkle free.

Batting/Wadding - We prefer to supply the batting as it comes straight off the roll and is wrinkle free. It is much cheaper for you if you are posting your quilt to us also. We use Wool blend 2.4m wide and 3m wide, Cotton blend 2.4m wide and 100% polyester batting 2.4m wide. If you supply the batting it must be at least 10cm larger on all sides to allow for stretching the quilt in the frame. Please, no Mountain Mist.

Thread - We use Signature, cotton wrapped polyester thread and 100% cotton thread on the top and bottom of your quilts. The same colour is used top and bottom. The cost of the thread is included in the quilting except if you desire a colour change. You will then be charged.
