QB Services

Quilting Bug is your source for all your longarm quilting needs.  You can choose a edge-to-edge design, stitch-in-the-ditch, freehand, or choose from any of our many templates for your pattern.  If you have a design in mind for your quilting pattern bring it along with you and we will try and incorporate it into the project.

Longarm quilting is a hand-guided art. Thus, computerized perfection cannot be achieved nor is it a built-in part of the QB longarm quilting process. Please insure that your piecing and borders lie flat. Longarm quilting will not "fix" misaligned patchwork or the uneven borders that can cause your quilt to have puckers or tucks when quilted. Your quilt will be as free of pleats, fullness or tucks as your piecing allows.

* Extra charges may be added for quilt preparations that must be completed by Quilting Bug prior to quilting.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to give me a call. I'm happy to assist you in getting everything prepared, and going over any of the details you need further information on.

Quilt Preparation 

Preparing your quilt for machine quilting at our shop

 

Please take the time to follow these guidelines, your quilt is worth the extra effort…   

 Quilt Top:

Do not baste your quilt, with pins or any other method.   

Identify the head or top of your quilt top and head or top of the backing if applicable, with a piece of paper marked with pencil and taped or pinned to fabric.

Square your quilt top.

Press your quilt well. Seams open or to one side.   

Trim all loose threads on your quilt, they can show under light fabric. They also can cause snags and uneven stitching.   

Quilt top should be free of embellishments such as buttons, charms, pins, sequins, couching, etc.   

Borders that do not lay flat may cause tucks, pleats or fullness. 

  Backing:   

Square the backing,   Allow an extra 4-6 inches beyond all sides of the quilt top. 100% cotton is recommended. Bed sheets are not. The dense nature can prevent needle penetration, causing skipped stitches.   

Trim selvage edges from seams and press open. Press well.   

Backing preparation service is available, $10.00 per seam charge, plus an additional $5.00 to square backing fabric once prepared. 

   Batting:   

You may supply your own batting (allow an extra 4-6 inches beyond all sides of the quilt top) or purchase batting from us.
