| Shipping |
| Please
contact us about any need to ship quilting materials to us, so that
we can make the necessary arrangements together. Your quilt
tops are important and valuable items, and shipping needs to be coordinated.
Some things to consider, as well as guidelines for packaging,
shipping, and insuring quilting materials are provided below.

| Preparation for
Shipping |
|
Quilt Top: Check and clip loose threads and press
the seams in the direction you want them quilted. Square-up
the top if necessary. Do not baste or pin together the
quilt top, backing and batting.
Backing: Be sure the backing is at least six inches
longer and wider than the quilt top. For the best results,
choose a "busy" backing fabric that complements the top.
Batting: We recommend that you purchase batting from
us. We can provide the best quality batting and use only what
is needed.
If you decide to supply the batting, be sure it is at
least six-inches wider and longer than the quilt top, and do not pre-wash
unless package directions require you to do so. Also, do not trim
the batting.

Carefully fold and package the quilt top and other items you are
supplying into two plastic bags (one within the other) and affix an address
label (addressed to us) to each bag. If shipping via
the U.S. Postal Service, place the contents inside an approved USPS
shipping container. If shipping via UPS, FedEx, etc., follow
their shipping container requirements.
If sending via the U.S. Postal Service, use strapping tape or shipping tape to reinforce all corners and
seams of the shipping carton. For peace of mind, we suggest you insure the
contents and send via Priority Mail
with "Delivery Confirmation."
Special Note: If the contents of your package need
to be identified for insurance purposes, indicate the content as "Bedding."
Do not indicate that the content is a quilt, for safety reasons.

for the shipping cost to get the item to our studio. We
suggest you insure the item and get tracking information. If you need to identify the contents for insurance, list it as "Bedding."

for the cost of return shipping. Return shipping includes the

the coverage increase to the return shipping of your item.
