What Your Longarm Quilter Wishes Every Quilter Knew | Longarm Quilting Tips - Ep. 207
Episode 208
Monday, 15 June, 2026
This week on Not Your Granny’s Quilt Show, the guest is... me! When I'm not behind the microphone, I'm running my longarm quilting business, Sweet Pea Design Company, helping quilters finish their projects and bring their quilt tops to life. In this episode, I'm sharing my updated guide to preparing a quilt for longarm quilting. While I've covered some of these topics before, it felt like the perfect time to revisit the process, answer common questions, and explain the reasoning behind many of the requests longarm quilters make. Whether you're sending your very first quilt to a longarmer or you're a seasoned quilter looking for a refresher, this episode covers practical tips to help your quilting experience go smoothly. We'll talk about: How to prepare your quilt top for longarm quilting Backing fabric requirements and common mistakes Choosing the right batting for your project Different batting options and how they affect the finished quilt How to select a pantograph design Why longarm quilters have specific preparation requirements Building a successful relationship with your longarm quilter Every longarm quilter has their own preferences and process, but these tips are based on years of experience and my commitment to delivering the best possible results for every quilt that comes through my studio. Most importantly, I hope this episode helps demystify the longarm quilting process and encourages quilters to communicate openly with their longarmer. The relationship you build with the person finishing your quilt can make all the difference. Have questions after listening? Reach out! I'm always happy to help fellow quilters better understand the longarm quilting process. Thank you for listening, watching, and supporting Not Your Granny's Quilt Show. I appreciate every one of you.
