How to calculate the cost of your quilt:
-
Measure the length and width of your top in inches.
-
Multiply these two amounts (length x width).
-
Divide this amount by 144 (this calculates the total quilt area in square feet).
-
Multiply this amount by the square foot rate and then add any additional costs (thread, turning, binding etc).
-
For example, a square quilt measuring 85 inches using an edge-to- edge (e2e) design would be:
85 x 85 = 7225
7225/144 = 50.17 square feet
50.17 x $4.50 = $225.77
How to prepare your quilt:
-
If you are supplying the backing and wadding, they need to be at least 4 inches larger on all sides. Add 8 inches to the length and width dimensions of your quilt to calculate the size required for the backing and wadding.
-
All edges of the quilt and backing should be straight and square to ensure they roll evenly on Lizzie's rollers.
-
Iron the quilt top and backing. Make sure all seams are secured and flat. Trim excess threads (especially dark threads on light fabrics).
-
Make sure that your borders lie flat. Wavy borders and borders that are tight can result in a puckered finish over the quilt top.
-
Do not pin the three layers together.
Please note:
All care is taken to provide a good finish and some fullness in the quilt top can be accommodated. Excessive fullness may result in some rippling and puckering in the finished quilt.
