Here are a few tips to start you on your journey.
- Clip all stray threads on BOTH sides of the top. They are much harder to remove once the quilting is done so NOW is the time.
- The top should also be free of loose threads stuck to the top or back of the quilt aka LINT. A lint roller is a quilter's friend!
- The back needs to be 8 inches longer and wider than your quilt. So if your quilt is 56" x 70" your back needs to be 64" x 78". Be sure it is ironed without any folds or creases in it.
- Press your top and your back. There should be no wrinkles or folds.
- Hang it over a hangar or even better one of those large 3-5 gallon large plastic ziplock bags. The bag will keep all your quilt pieces together and make it easy to see what's in it.
