Numerous pantograph patterns, outline stitching, meandering and custom work such as special borders, block designs, stitch in the ditch, stippling, cross-hatching, or following preprinted designs. I make tee-shirt quilts and photo/memory quilts, including making photo transfers.
Battings, wide muslins, some wide printed linings are available. Binding or partial binding upon request.
Basting service for those who hand quilt.
Shipping by U.S. mail.
Preparing Your Top
To ensure best results be sure your top is as perfectly squared as possible. Be sure borders are not longer than the center of the quilt. Press the top with seams lying in the directions you want. Clip extra threads, top and back. If you are sending batting or lining material be sure there is a minimum of six inches more in length and width.
