Quilt InformationQuilt Information

Quilt Pick-Up

Purchased quilt items may be picked up at the cashiers desk.

Comforters

Usually made from heavy weight materials and put together by

knotting or large stitches.

Quilt Storage

Quilts should not be stored in plastic, as the plastic does not allow

them to breathe and they will yellow. Instead, use an old pillowcase or

sheet.

Speed Quilting

Speed quilting differs from regular quilting in that small x stitches are made at the corners of each piece. This method is most commonly

used when a quilt top is entirely pieced, not where large pieces of

fabric have been left blank for quilting a design.

Quilt Top Descriptions

Appliqud: Pieces of fabric are sewn onto the background fabric to form a design.

Embroidered: Quilt tops design is formed by embroidery. Pieced Patchwork: Pieces of cut cloth are sewn together to form a design.

Whole Cloth: The quilting forms the design on a piece of fabric,

usually a solid color.

Pre-Printed Fabric: A printed design on the background fabric, giving the

appearance of being pieced or appliqud. The printing is

done at the fabric mill.

Pre-Quilted Fabric: Machine quilted at the mill.
