Frequently Asked Questions

How do I print my templates to the correct size?

All of our templates should be printed at 100% scale. Most templates include a 1" test measuring square. We recommend measuring the template before starting your project.

Can you recommend a different backing and binding combination for my quilt?

Absolutely! Contact us with details about your quilt and we will be happy to offer suggestions.

Tana Lawn® Washing Care

Liberty Tana Lawn® does not need to be pre-washed before working with it. Because of the high-quality production of the fabric, shrinkage when washing is negligible.

While hang drying is preferable, you can also tumble dry on low.

Iron on a cotton setting with steam.
