Frequently Asked Questions
Comments (0) I get a TON of people emailing me & calling me every day with questions about my quilts. This is fabulous, of course – contact me anytime! – but I have noticed a few questions that seem to be really common, so I thought I should make a quick FAQs post to make it easier for everyone to get the info they need!
How many pieces of clothing should I send?
This is the most common question, and I will have to refer you to either my Pricing page or my Order Form. These pages both let you know my minimums for each size, and they are still correct.
Can I send more than the minimum number listed?
ABSOLUTELY! The minimum is really the bare minimum – the least that you should send – and I wanted to keep it as low as possible so that as many people as possible would be able to get the size they wanted. But the more you send, the more personality the quilt has (and the easier it is for me to piece it all together), so you can send up to double the listed amount if you want!
When I have lots of clothing, I will use all the cute parts first & generally leave out the solid white backs of onesies & t-shirts, etc.
Can you use swimsuits/costumes/curtains/beads/a pillow/dance outfits/hand knitted items/lace/frilly dress?
Simple – if it’s fabric, I can use it! I will find a way! If I can’t (and this has never happened – it’s just my escape clause) I’ll let you know and send the item back with your quilt (uncut/undamaged, of course).
I also have sewn on special beads – let me know if you’re interested in something crafty like that, as it does take a lot of extra hand sewing, and I will quote you a price.
Can I organize my clothing from most important to least important, put notes on the clothing, etc?
Sure!! Anything you want! Lots of people send 2 bags of clothes in the box – the “must-haves” and the “extras.” Other people pins notes to important pieces. Feel free to give me any guidance you would like!
What is your pricing?
Again, this is already on my site: check out either my Pricing page or my Order Form. I make sure to keep it all current.
Do you ever have any specials?
I always give 10% off orders of multiple quilts. If you want to pair up with a friend & send your items in as one order, that’s great! But that’s generally the only special I run – if I do have something else going on, it will be on my home page & on my order form.
How should I send you my clothing?
Whatever works best for you! You can use any shipping method & packaging you would like – in fact, many people put everything in a diaper box, put lots of shipping tape on the seams & stick a USPS label on the front!
That’s all I can think of for now, so I’d better get back to sewing! I will add more as new questions pop up!
