If you want something oriented a certain way on the front or back – please indicate which edge is the top.
Return shipping by USPS Priority Mail will be insured for $200 per quilt.
Please do not attach your binding prior to quilting.
Please do not baste or pin your quilt.
Please check the top for open seams – the quilt will be returned to you at your expense if any repairs need to be made.
Please clip all loose threads.
Please press your quilt top and also the back.
Make sure your backing material is at least 4″ beyond the sides of the quilt and 6″ beyond the top & bottom.
Backing material cannot be a bed sheet.
Please remove the material salvages – do not include them in the seam of your backing. The salvages are a tighter weave than the rest of the fabric and will not let it “give” as the rest of the quilt.
Please square up your quilt – an extra charge will be added if we have to square it up. When putting borders on your quilt – Measure in the middle of the quilt. This is the measurement that your border should be. Please make sure the final border is trimmed and square.
Please remove all loose threads from the quilt top – they will be hard to remove later if they are quilted down.
If you have pets – please make sure everything is free of pet hair.
If you have a smoker in your house – please deodorize your quilt before sending it to us.
Quilting is done on a first come first done basis. Pre-registering online reserves your spot in line.
If any of these items need to be addressed by Mikala’s Quilting before the quilting can be completed, additional charges will be added.
