Quilt backs need to be at least 6 inches larger than the quilt top on all sides.
A 60”x60” quilt top needs a backing that is at least 72”x72”.
The back is loaded onto the longarm frame first, everything else is loaded on top of it. The extra fabric is our “longarm seam allowance”. Without this extra fabric we cannot quilt your project. When you are able, please do NOT trim selvages off the edges of your backing fabric. Selvages help us load the backing fabric.
Many backs will be pieced. That’s great. If it’s just one long seam, a pieced back works best when the seams are horizontal to the quilt (the internal seam can have the selvage trimmed to avoid bulk in the quilt).
The backing fabric needs to be pressed with all seams pressed to the side.
For larger quilts "widebacks" in 108", 110” or 118" backing are ideal. There is no need to trim widebacks; please leave the selvages on this type of backing.
