JUDGING TEAM
Judging Service
A Judging Service is available for the benefit of the members and groups of SA Quilters.
The judges work within the parameters of the criteria set by the quilt show or challenge co-ordinators.

Critiques are available by arrangement.
It is helpful to have judges with quilt knowledge and avoid having the quilted pre-printed panel being selected as Best of Show.
Groups that invite the Judging Team to select Best of Show or the winner of their Challenge will be provided with a free Quilt Appraisal Certificate as an additional prize for the winning quilt.
