If you have ever thought about sending a quilt top off to a longarm quilter, this video from Under My Needle Studio is one to save. She walks through twelve simple things to check before your quilt leaves your hands, so it comes back looking exactly the way you hoped.
Here is why this one is worth watching:
- It saves you surprises later. Little things like loose threads, gentle pressing, and squaring up your top can make a big difference once it is on the frame, and she shows you exactly what to look for.
- It helps your quilter do their best work. A well prepared top gives the longarm quilter room to make your quilting shine, and it can even save you money on extra preparation charges.
- It is friendly for first timers. If you have never used a longarm service before, her clear checklist takes the worry out of it and gives you the confidence to send that special quilt off.
