General Bedspread Information

Bedspread Fabrication
All bedspreads are quilted with a 60x fill. White or off-white multifilament nylon thread to be used. Quilt patterns available include Diamond, Wavy Diamond, Onion, Double Onion, 2" or 3" Channel. Bedspreads made with patterns on 54" wide fabric will be seamed and pattern matched by preseaming. Bedspreads made with patterns on 126" wide fabric will be seamless. Quilt pattern will be continuous through entire spread, with equal stitches consisting of 8 - 10 lock stitches per inch. Throw style with a 1" single needle hem and an 18" pillow tuck is standard. Options may include, but are not limited to, gusset fitted corners, waterfall corners, and reversible pillow tuck.

Bedspread Fabrics
Face fabrics to be a minimum of 4.5 ox 100% polyester. Lining is 60/40 cotton polyester, white in color. Fill will be 100% resinated virgin polyester, and one continuous solid sheet extending the entire width and length of spread without seams or joining.

Corner Style
The two bottom corners of the bedspread can be various styles. Most common is a throw corner that bells out. For a fitted look, the sides can tuck under a flap that cascades off the foot of the bed. For a different fitted look, the bottom and sides can be tight to the bed wit a gusset inset at each bottom corner to give a bit of flair. The gussets can be the same fabric or a contrast fabric. Lastly, the bottom corners can be sewn together to create a cap that fits onto the bed.

Drop
The drop is the measurement of the depth of bedspread that hangs from the top of the mattress down. Typically, a coverlet will have a 9" or 14" drop, depending on whether there is a box-spring. The rest of the depth to the floor will be covered by a dust ruffle. Or, a bedspread has a drop of around 21" and the sides will fall all the way to the floor.

Quilt Pattern
Standard quilt patterns are onion and diamond. Other quilt patterns, including outline quilting, are available at an added cost to the customer.

Fill Weight
The batting sewn between the top of the bedspread and the lining is called poly-fill. So, the density of this poly-fill determines the loft and the warmth of the bedspread. Typically, a six-ounce poly-fill is used, but the customer can choose to pay extra for eight-ounce fill.

Pre-seamed
In order to make a bedspread as wide as it needs to be, multiple widths of fabric may need to be sewn together. To save fabric and labor costs, the widths are cut one after the other down the length of the fabric and sewn together. This technique means the print of the fabric will fall in an unorganized fashion across the multiple widths. However, the fabric can be cut and sewn so that the print matches all the way across the multiple widths of fabric. This technique uses more fabric and requires more skilled labor, so it will cost the customer more.

Reverse Sham
Instead of the included pillow tuck, a customer could choose another method to cover the pillows. The bedspread is made to the length of the bed plus the drop. Then a flap of the quilted fabric is sewn to the top of the bedspread. The pillows are placed on the spread and under the flap. This method requires and additional cost.

Welt in Hems
For added decoration, a bead of welting can be sewn to the edge of the spread. The welting can be of the same fabric or a contrast fabric. This decoration adds to the cost of the bedspread.

Four Rounded Corners
For added decoration, a customer could choose to have all four corners of the bedspread bell out. Adding a throw corner to all corners adds an additional cost to the bedspread.
