You always need to have extra batting on edge for quilting to take up. Also What size is an acutal queen size bed? I had trouble using twin size batting for my twin size quilt even though the size of the batting should have fit. Batting measurement seems to be finished size of quilt so twin batting may not actually fit. Always buy extra

Judy,
Robert here. I've been quilting for about 3 years and have been doing my own free motion quilting on a home machine, done 3 baby quilts, 5 twins/lap quilts, a couple queens and I took the ardgous task of doing a king............(YUCK). I read you did quilting for others. What do you charge for a queen size and a twin. I have 3 tops done and a fourth soon.
Do have any pics of your quilting or patterns you use.
Sorry for all the questions.
Robert
