Long Arm Quilting Services

Sew It Fabulous has been offering Innova Long Arm Quilting Services since 2018. Customers can choose from a wide range of digital edge-to-edge patterns from our computer (choose at time of drop off). Battings (cotton, 80/20, wool) are available as well as a wide variety of wideback quilting fabrics. Sew It Fabulous offers customers the opportunity to either bring their quilts into the store (no appointment necessary) or mail them in if they so choose. When figuring your backing, please add 5 inches extra on top and bottom and 4 inches extra on each side to accommodate our machine’s leads.

Preparing Your Quilt Top And Backing

1. If you pre-wash fabrics, make sure you pre-wash all of them.
2. Press both your quilt top and backing.
3. If you have a “top” to your quilt and your backing, place a pin at the top.
4. Loose threads need to be cut from both the front and back.
5. Backing and batting need to be a minimum of 5 inches larger on top and bottom and 4 inches wider on sides. No exceptions.
6. Square your backing fabric.
7. Any fullness in the center of your quilt or puckers and/or wavy borders CANNOT be quilted out.
8. Borders – Do not handle your quilt by the borders once they are attached as this can stretch your borders and cause them looseness or waviness.
9. Cut your straight borders the length of grain (parallel to the selvage). They will lay flatter.
10. Check the following site to cut/sew your borders correctly: How to Measure and Sew Borders to a Quilt
