Quilting services are available to fit every need and budget. From basic quilting design to heirloom quilting, Garden Gate Quilting provides a beautiful finished product in a timely manner.
Preparing your Quilt Top
In order for Garden Gate Quilting to give you the best service possible, please prepare your quilt in the following manner:
Your backing fabric needs to be 10″ larger than your quilt top. (example – if you quilt top is 80″ x 60″, your backing needs to be 90″ x 70″. Batting should be at least 5″ larger on all four sides.
If your backing is seamed, please use a 1/2″ seam allowance and remove all selvage from your backing fabric. Press the seam open.
Do not use safety pins or baste your quilt in any way. Please mark the top left corner of your quilt top and backing with a safety pin.
Please be sure that the backing fabric is square. A charge of $20 will be added if the backing fabric requires squaring up.
Quilting Patterns
A variety of patterns are available to suit your taste. Please feel free to choose a pattern that you like, or consult with Lisa if you are unsure what pattern fits your quilt. Custom quilting is also available. Lisa will be happy to discuss design options with you to make your quilting dreams come true!
