Candy gave a quick demonstration about quilt backings
Work with your quilter to get good results so you won't be disappointed
Most quilters prefer a backing that goes on with seam horizontally.
When sewing your backing put the two ends together and sew the seam
toward the fold ensuring the pieces are equal.
