Longarm Quilting Tip Sheet

By Leo and Carol Maynard

Your Quilt Top:

  • Seams pressed either to the
    side or open. No excessive
    fabric in seams.
  • No embellishments (buttons,
    bells, sequins, or ribbons) You
    can add those later.
  • Mark the top of your quilt with
    a tag.
  • Trim any dark threads that will
    show through light-colored
    fabrics.
  • Stay-stitching is nice, but not
    required… UNLESS you have a
    piano-key border.

Your Thread Choice:

  • Glide Thread runs best in our
    Bernina Q24 longarm.
  • Best practice is to use the same
    color thread on both top &
    bottom to prevent “pokies”
  • Thread color is your choice
    unless you would like our
    professional opinion.

Your Backing:

  • Backing needs to be 3” to 4”
    larger on all sides than the quilt
    top. This is to ensure that the
    side clamps can hold onto the
    backing fabric
  • ALWAYS leave the selvages on
    the outside edges of the
    backing. You should not leave
    selvages on an inside seam
  • Pieced backings—Horizonal
    seams are preferred, instead of
    vertical seams. If using vertical
    seams, do not choose a
    directional quilt design.
  • Centering another quilt on the
    back of your quilt top is VERY
    tricky, BUT do-able.
  • · Wide backings (108” or larger)
    are less fussy than pieced
    backings.

Other Services:

  • Trimming/Squaring
  • Binding Services

Batting Options:

  • Hobb’s 80/20 is used in the
    shop.
  • Customer batting is always
    accepted.
  • If using a pieced batting, please
    make sure that all pieces are the
    same type of batting.
  • Do NOT pin baste top, batting
    and backing together. We layer
    each section separately on the
    longarm. Removing pins just
    takes unnecessary time.

 

Your Quilt Design:

  • Good theme choices are:
    hobbies, floral designs, or
    geometrics.
  • Quilting options include E2E
    (Edge to Edge), Borders and
    Corners, Block or motif
    placement, Ruler work, or
    complete Custom Design.
