BACKING
 
I carry 50/50 Muslin that comes in Natural and White, it is preshrunk and when washed has the feel and look of 100% cotton. It has a soft finish and it comes in a wide width, so less or no piecing for the back.  $7.00 + tax.

*If you choose to supply your own backing or batting I will not guarantee the finished results.
 
Chose to use 100% cotton thas has been washed and ironed or consider fabric that is poly/cotton htat is preshrunk.  Remove ALL selvages, both from seams and along the edeges.
 

Please cut your backing and your batting at least 6-8" larger than your top on all sides * NOTE packaged batting does not need to be cut as long as measurements are 4-6: larger.
 
Cut your back and batting as square as possible.  If you piece the backing, please make sure all pieces are the same length.
 
" Stay-stitch" 1/4  inch in from the edge around the perimeter of the backing.
 
Press well, backing seams should be pressed open.
 
Fold top carefully
 
Remember:  The better job you do on preparation, the better job I can do for you!
 
*NOTE I charge extra as much as $20.00 for trimming, squareing and pressing the quilt top or the backing.  Also use of sheets or sheeting is strongly disoucraged, as it causes poor tension and constant thread breakage.
