PROGRAM
A you tube video was played "You Can Quilt That Out" 
To view,  go to www.youtube.com and search for above title.
It was originally from QuiltBirdStudio.

Terilee Jacobson presented her thoughts on 
"How to prepare your quilt for Machine Quilting".

She recommended that the back of the quilt be at least 8 inches longer 
and 8 inches wider than the top of the quilt.
Take time to remove quilt threads from your top.  
Put embellishments on after the quilting has been done.  
Most machine quilters carry their own batting 
so she recommends that you buy from your quilter because 
they know what batting works well with their machine.  
If you want custom quilting, be aware that it will cost more 
than an overall design.  
Most important is to talk to your quilter to let them know what you want done 
on your quilt.  If you are dissatisfied, you should let your quilter know.
