I took a year to put this
heirloom quilt together. I had tried different quilting
techniques and nothing was working. I took it to Mervyn and when
the family looked at the finished product, there were tears of
joy. It was beyond what was expected and the price was right.
Thank you so much for quality and integrity in your workmanship
and business.

Printable version of these Steps |
| 1 |
Trim all loose threads |
|
| 2 |
Secure all seams. Backstitch at
the outer edge of your border seams. |
|
| 3 |
Remove all
pins. |
|
| 4 |
Press the top and back of your
quilt and fold each one separately. |
|
| 5 |
Piece the backing of your quilt
using 1/2" seams and press these seams open. |
|
| 6 |
Square up all sides of the top
and back of your quilt to form a straight edge for quilting. |
|
| 7 |
Make the back 2" larger than
the top on all four sides.
(width +4", length +4") |
|
| 8 |
Batting must be as long and as
wide as your backing.
"Warm and Natural" 100% cotton batting is available from our shop. |
|
| 9 |
Is your backing pieced with
either borders or blocks? Due to the pull of the fabric on the machine they
may not be perfectly centered. But, we'll do our best. |
|
| 10 |
Think about the color of your
quilt thread when choosing your backing fabric. |
