Q4CL Quilt Hug Guidelines

Our Guidelines

• Please do not use anything heavier than quilting weight fabric i.e. no curtaining or upholstery fabric in your quilt or blocks

• No Disney, no licensed fabrics

• Tops made with denim e.g. rag quilts, are acceptable PROVIDED seams are adequate to prevent fraying of the seam

• Quilting can be as simple as you like but close enough to support the seams of the top. If in doubt we suggest quilting about a fist width apart

• If using fleece as backing, wadding is not always required but quilting must support those seams on the top

• Longarming service: tops to be accompanied by backing 8″ wider and 8″ longer than the top. Longarming will incur a £10 charge to cover wadding and thread. Tops will be allocated to your nearest available longarmer

• Please store your quilt(s) until allocated to a quilt coordinator

• All of our quilt have labels with individual numbers on them. See our FAQs for how to get one once your quilt is finished

• A cardboard tag with a personal message can be attached to your quilt, but use your first name only please

• Any quilts where animals or smokers have been, or when you have been ill during the making e.g. colds/coughs need to be washed and/or all fur cleared off

• We need more quilts for males than females, so consider colours and fabrics that might appeal to both where you can (though utterly feminine or overtly masculine are welcome too!) We also welcome hugs for our LGBTQ+ community.
