long arm quilting ?
I just need some practical advice. I know that this answer may vary from quilter to quilter. I promise that I am not going to use anyone's advice to argue with anyone else. How much bigger does the backing need to be when sending a top to a long arm quilter? In retrospect I should have considered this before now. I specifically ordered wide backing so that I wouldn't have to piece the back (I've had enough of a challenge with the top). I ordered extra fabric so that I would "have enough" for back and borders... I cut the borders incorrectly....now I will only have about 9 inches extra top & side (total 9 on side/9 on top.) Is this even "workable"? If I am going to need to order more fabric, I may reconsider my borders. Does this make sense at all? I really don't know what I am talking about. Thanks!
