I welcome visitors but do advise you to book an appointment with me first, I look forward to seeing you Monday to Friday 09.00 to 17.00 and am happy to have you visit in the evening or weekend if necessary.
At the studio you can use the equipment to make up your backing and cut your binding. I am very happy to help you with this and to go over the check list below with you. The studio has sewing machines, rotary cutters and mats and a lovely big table to work on, as well as everything you will need for quilting.
Preparation of quilt Checklist, important.
• Do not baste your quilt – Your quilt goes on my long arm machine in three separate layers so there is no need to baste.
• Trim any loose threads so darker threads won’t show under light fabric. This really does make a difference, particularly for white and contrasting quilts.
• Your backing and wadding need to be at least 15cm larger on all sides. This is the ideal size we like to work with. However, if your backing is a little shorter than these measurements then do contact me to check before making any alterations to your backing.
• Trim any selvedges and press open seams on backing joins.
• It is fine to leave the selvedges on outer edges of backings as eventually they will be trimmed.
• Square up your backing.
• If your quilt is directional, pin a note indicating the top end.
• Have your quilt insured if you are posting it. This is worth doing and you can do this on line at postnord.dk. When I post quilts back I always have them insured.
