*CUSTOM MACHINE QUILTING
Shared Threads specializes in quality work for those interested in a unique and distinctive quilted appearance that turns a quilt top into a family heirloom. Review the service rates and preparation of the top and backing listed below and bring the quilt to our shop for an estimate at no charge.

Preparation of Top and Backing for Quilting
1. Trim all threads on quilt top and press.
2. Dimension of backing needs to be 4-6" wider than the top per side. If backing is pieced, remove the selvages before stitching 1/2" seam allowance and press open. If you need backing, we have a great selection of 108" wide backing fabric for sale at the shop.
3. Batting should be the same dimension as the backing.
Trimming threads, pressing, un-pinning or un-basting services are available at $15 per hour.
