Shipping your Quilt to us

Prepare your Quilt

• Snip those tails! Please take the time to snip loose threads from the back of your quilt top. These may show through the lighter colors of your quilt.
• Press your top and back. Make sure quilt top has been ironed with all the seams pressed properly. Iron back as well. 
• Is your border pieced? If you have a pieced border, for best results, stay stitch 1/4″ around the edge of your quilt top. This helps keep the borders from stretching while being quilted.
• Do not baste your quilt. Fold top and backing separately.
• This side up! If you have a special direction you want the top and the backing to go on then please indicate that with a small piece of paper labeled “TOP”, pinned onto the top as well as one on the backing.
• Backing- size matters! Please make sure that the backing is approximately 3-4 inches larger than the top. It is also very important that the backing be trimmed square. If you are providing the batting please make sure that it is about 3-4 inches larger than the top.
• Quilts with embellishments cannot be machine quilted. Plan on adding your embellishments after the quilting is complete.
• Print your order form. Include a copy of your order in the box. This way we know it's your quilt

Shipping Your Quilts Safely

• Securely attach return shipping instructions to your quilt.
• Put your name and address on your quilt’s label. If you have one, attach a business card to the quilt with a safety pin.
• Put your quilt in a CLEAR plastic bag.
• This will protect your quilt in case the box gets wet. NEVER USE A GARBAGE BAG that is opaque! Someone could easily throw your quilt away without looking inside. (Please note, do not keep a quilt in a plastic bag for long-term storage.)
• Use a permanent, water-proof marker to label the clear plastic bag. Don’t leave anything to chance. Mark the clear plastic bag with shipping instructions and return addresses. Many people also write their return address on the inside of the box itself. Put your address on everything.
• Don't forget a COPY OF YOUR ORDER
• Use a strong, new box. These boxes are put through a lot of stress during shipment. Purchase a box that will not be crushed or broken open. You can buy extra strong boxes which are made for shipping china and crystal glasses. Or, you can use two boxes, one inside the other. If you do use a previously used box, pick one that is very strong like those used to ship glass bottles. Be sure there are NO stray addresses, barcodes, or tracking numbers from prior shipments on the outside of the box. If there are any old markings on a previously used box, your package can easily be misdirected and lost.
• Before you close the box, put a piece of cardboard on top of your quilt. This will help protect your quilt if a knife is used to open the box.
• Tape every flap and seam. Secure any edge that could get caught in machinery or conveyor belts. Boxes can easily come open during shipment and contents can be separated from the box.
• Do not use string, rope or masking tape.
