spots. I know it is because my cutting is not strait ;/ ..... which then makes my quilt all wonky and pouchy in spots ... What I am wondering is how to avoid getting my under seams all stuffed up when i start the quilting ? I have trimmed and ironed, but they still seem to be 'standing up' a bit.
Perhaps quilters pin these down? Hmn.....
LITTLE APPLES, by Aneela Hoey for moda Here is the backing , I had two full yards and pieced the rest to fit. Pretty excited .... I am soaking the bamboo batting . I am also looking at more fabric :)) I've got the bug now...you see. |

You are brave. Quilts intimidate the heck out of me. And don't get me started on curtains. How hard could they be, I thought. HARD!! Your work looks great. Best wishes. xx
ReplyDeleteWhen I have made quilts in the past I have always just let things happen the way they do :) but you could probably starch spray or use an adhesive spray for quilting to keep those seams in check x
