I serge the edges but only when they ask me to. Otherwise I send it back with all the edges on there still. But I always make sure to send any leftovers back with it as well.
|
I usually ask my LAQ to machine stitch the binding, then I do the hand stitching. So, yes.
|
No I want to trim my own.
|
I'm a LA and i stitch all edges down as a quilt. so when i remove the quilt from the rack its ready to trim and binde.. I DONOT trim the quilt i leave that for the owner to do. I have never had any complaints.
|
I usually do not trim for my customers unless I have to turn the quilt to stitch on sashing that I could not do while putting it through.
|
My Longarmer trims all my quilts and attaches the binding to the front so I just have to slip stitch to the back! I supply the binding 2.5" ready presssed in half and the backing! She has done approx 23/30 quilts for me over the past 10yrs, never had a problem! She always returns all the cut off fabric/batting.
|
My quilter always trims and I like that. She does a good job and it is less work for me.
|
My quilter does not trim before returning the quilt to me, regardless of what fiber content the batting is. I'll stitch a scant 1/4" from the edge all around and then trim when I use polyester batting, and then bind.
|
i do my own trimming because the person who does the quilting charges for it.the quilting alone costs enuf
|
NO! I had a very bad experience with a LA trimming the six quilts I brought her and she must have had a senior moment. Backing was too short on one...like it was still stretched on the frame...then she cut and the fabric returned and was way too short. ^&**^$ me off!
now I ask them to not trim. They have no problem NOT trimming when I ask. just let them know!

When using polyester batting I like to stay stitch mine before trimming, as polyester batting sometimes (quite often) pops back after it has been cut. Then there is not enough batting to fill the binding. This does not happen when using cotton batting. Some long arm quilters automatically do it without asking......
