* Be sure the quilt back is a minimum of 4” wider on each side, and 8” longer on the top and bottom than the quilt top. For example if your top is 45" by 60" then your backing must be a minimum of 53" by 76”

* Square the corners of your top and backing. Both parts should be perfect rectangles so I can load your quilt squarely on the frame.

* Backing and quilt top should be pressed and all threads trimmed.

* Borders should lay flat so puckering does not occur when quilted.
