Quilt Love Charges
I am exceptionally
busy, and truly, truly, thankful that I have you as a customer. But, with
that being said I need to make the best use of my time to get all of these
beautiful quilts quilted. I really don’t mind working with you to fix the
little things that may require a little attention but…..when I must put
additional time into your quilt top or backing because you have neglected to do
any of the following, I may have to charge you an additional charge. If I
am working on your top or backing doing something that you should have done, I
am not working on finishing someone else’s quilt. I do not ask anything that
any other machine quilter would request, please work with me on this. I am
spending too much time on things that you should have done before giving your
top and backing to me.
Pressing
Please take the time to
press your top and backing. I don't mind pressing it a little, but please be
considerate of my time. This will give you another chance to trim threads
and check for open seams. Open Seams (stitched) can be a machine
quilters worst nightmare. They can damage our machines if not caught
prior to loading and quilting your quilt. Please make sure all selvages
are removed and your seams are pressed flat. .
Batting
If you supply your own
batting for multiple quilts, please cut the batting for each quilt before
giving to me. I may not cut the batting for the quilts in the
correct order resulting in not enough batting. If I have to cut your
batting there may be an additional charge.
Backing
Your backing must be
at least 4” and prefer 6” larger than your top on all sides. If
your quilt is 50" x 50" your batting and backing needs to measure at
least 58" x 58". If your backing is too small and I have to
add additional fabric to make it long/wide enough, you will be charged $5 per
addition. Please ask me if you have any questions about this. Price
for squaring backings $5.
Thread/Pet
Hair
Please take a moment to
clip all threads on the top and edges of your quilt top and backing.
Loose threads can damage my machines if they get caught in the hopping
foot while quilting. Threads also have the potential to get caught in the
wheels on my machine. This will affect the computer placement of the
quilting design on your quilt. PET HAIR-I know you love your pets, but PLEASE
clean up tops and backs before sending to me. I advertise as a "pet
free" quilter and pet hair on your tops/backs can transfer to other quilts
that I may currently have or am working on. If necessary for me to
de-thread or de-hair your quilt it might cost you an additional $5.
Here is a checklist for you to follow before
sending your quilt
__ Press both your top and your backing.
Please be courteous of my time, your top and backing need to lay flat on my frame.
__Trim all stray threads on the top and the
backing.
__Check
and repair any loose and/or open seams.
__Mark
the top of the quilt and the top of the backing.
__Remove
all selvages and make sure your backing is square. If you need help with
this, please ask.
__Measure your top and your backing – DOUBLE check
that your backing is at LEAST 4 and prefer 6” larger than your top.
If your top is 50”x 50”, your backing needs to be at least 58”x 58”.
Please check this carefully.
__Pet Hair–Please remove pet hair from your top
and backing. I would not want to, but may have to refuse tops/backings
with excessive pet hair.
If you have any questions please let me know I am more than
happy to work with you.
Together we can get
your tops finished and into beautiful quilts that
will be loved!
