- When piecing the backing of a quilt, avoid using a center seam. When a quilt is folded in half, the extra bulk of the center seam along the fold line stresses the quilt, causing the quilt top and batting to break down. Instead, cut one of the lengths of backing fabric into two long, narrow pieces. Stitch a narrow piece to each side of the full-width piece. The quilt should be loaded into the quilting frame with the seams running the same direction as the rail does (also called the belly bar) .

- The amount of yardage needed is rounded up to the nearest eighth of a yard. For example, suppose the backing you need for a quilt is 52 inches wide by 96 inches long and the fabric you wish to use for the backing is on a bolt of fabric whose width is 43 inches. The yardage required is 5 1/3 yards. Here, the seam runs in the direction of the 96 inch side. Reversing the width and length of the quilt can yield a different amount of fabric required. In the example, reversing the width and length so that the width is now 96 inches and the length is 52 inches, yields a requirement of 4 1/3 yards.

- Small Quilts For quilt tops 40 wide or less, use a single width of 44/45-wide fabric. Buy enough length to allow an adequate margin at the quilt edges, as noted above. For example, a quilt top measuring 40 x 45 would require around 1  yards of 44/45 fabric for the backing. Large Quilts When your quilt is wider than 40, a sensible option is to use 60-, 90-, or 108-wide fabric for the quilt backing. But since fabric selection is limited for wide fabrics, quilters generally piece the quilt backing from 44/45-wide fabric.
