	Place your quilt top, back and batting in a bag or pillow case, fold them individually, do not sandwich the quilt. No basting or pinning.	Backing may be pieced, but please use only 100% cotton.	Make sure your quilt back is a minimum of 8" longer and 8" wider than your quilt top (that is 4" all around). This will allow for a correct positioning of the quilt on the machine.
	The batting, if provided by you, should be as wide as the backing. We recommend the use of cotton, wool or a good quality poly-cotton mix.	You can mark the top of the quilt with a pin or masking tape, include any other special instruction.	We will do our best to smooth wavy borders and to fix any other minor problem, but we will not be responsible for customer workmanship. You will be informed of any major problem before initiating the quilting.
