Quilt Preparation

Every quilt top is unique and tells a story. We will work with your creation and choose a quilting design that will complement your work.

Please iron your top. While ironing, check top for holes, cuts, loose threads in seams etc. Please correct as necessary. If we feel your quilt needs to be ironed, there will be a $10.00 charge.
Make sure backing is at least 3 inches larger than all sides of the quilt top.
When using Minky fabric for a backing, we ask that it is the correct size for your quilt top when you bring it to us. The edges should be "serged " to prevent fraying, as it makes quite a mess.
Mark the top of the quilt so we will know which way the quilting pattern should run. If the backing has a top and bottom, please mark that also.
Removing selvedge when piecing the back will help prevent puckering of the back when washed.
Complete the quilting order worksheet and enclose it in your shipment. Payment made by Visa, MasterCard or check. Please make checks payable to Barnyard Quilting. Full payment is expected before your quilt is picked up or returned to you.
Package your materials carefully for shipment. You may deliver your quilt top or ship it by either the U.S. Postal Service or by UPS. Please insure your package. We recommend USPS Priority Mail with “delivery confirmation” or USPS Ground Advantage, as both are inexpensive and provide a tracking number.
