FAQ’s
Here are some common questions about Maiden Jane. If you have any questions that aren’t listed here feel free to contact me!
What are your prices?
what is your turn around time?
I can make a quilt blanket in a relatively short period of time. However, the turnaround time depends on the number of items in my custom sewing queue. It is best to plan as far as possible in advance, especially if you are considering giving one as a gift in December(holidays) or May (graduations). You can also request a rush order. If I can accommodate you, there will be a $25 additional charge. Present turnaround time is about six months.
what are the care instructions?
The blankets are machine washable. Machine was cool and tumble dry low. If you would like to press the top of the quilt, press gently using a press cloth or handkerchief so that you do not melt the T Shirt motifs.
Are the blankets traditional quilts with batting?
Are the blankets as durable as traditional quilts?
I have made these quilts for over ten years. My customers testify that they are quite durable. My own children have used their blankets at college as throws and picnic blankets. They wash up very nicely. Will they be heirlooms in 100 years? I don’t know! But they are surely a “practical and pretty” way to get T Shirts out of your closet and drawers!
Do you use interfacing?
Can i use the front and back of a shirt?
Yes!
Can I use sweatshirt or sports Jersey?
What other things can I use?
Varsity jacket, sheets, blankets, shorts, button-down shirts, jeans, jerseys, uniforms, varsity letters, vintage quilts.
Can I select the fabrics?
You can leave fabric selection up to me or we can work together to make the selections. Sometimes customers will specify a color they would like or think would work well. Many times they leave the choices to me. You can always look through examples of my other blankets to get ideas.
