DebLou Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I have used Bonnie's starch & steam method quite a bit lately. In fact the last 2 quilts were saved by Bonnie. The quilt we just finished though was nice and flat to begin with. Much to my surprise when we took it off the rollers the backing had excess bunching between the rows. I'm still not sure how that happened. I checked underneath quite a bit to make sure it was smooth. Does this happen if there is too much space between the rows? I also pulled the batting taught everytime I rolled. The customer provided the batting and I don't think it's the greatest. It seems scratchy. Could I have created bulk when I pulled on the batting? My question now is, if I starch and steam the back now, will it stay like that or should I put it back in and do heavier quilting after I iron it? Thanks for listening, I hope this made sense.
