Shipping Tips: The USPS provides a great service called ‘click & ship’. This makes it super-simple to ship your quilt top, backing, and batting (if you choose your own). USPS also insures your package up to $100. If you feel you need to insure for more, then discuss this with your postal service. We will also discuss your shipping preferences before returning your finished quilt.
*The USPS offers several box sizes for shipping. A 12x12x8 is ideal for quilt tops and backing up to queen size.
**When packaging your quilt for shipping, choose something that will keep your quilt top safe and dry. A zippered bedding/comforter bag is ideal, as well as those huge zip lock storage bags. I try to avoid using trash bags for quilts because I have heard horror stories of precious quilts being mistaken for trash. However, if it’s the only thing you have to protect your quilt from moisture during shipping, then do use one.
***When listing the package contents on the shipping ticket, list it as ‘textiles’ or ‘bedding’. This reduces the possibility of your quilt being stolen.
