Other

  • Machine quilting is not a ‘fix’ for piecing issues.  Please understand that machine quilting will not “fix” fullness, puckering, piecing or pressing issues, inadequate seam allowance, improperly measured borders, or the squareness of the quilt.  Imperfections in the quilt may require tucks/creases to occur when quilting which is beyond our control
