Wish I could help you! Honestly a combination of "less than ideal" backing fabric (donation) and "skipping" the step to "pressing and squaring up the back" (which so far I have NEVER had to press a back - all the fold wrinkles seem to fall into place when on the frame -- not this case -- the "fold" was because there was "extra fabric" in the middle portion of the quilt -- not on the edge --from the mill that way -- extra wide -- but not quilt store quality backcing!!) resulted in a 1/4" tuck right down the middle of the backing (oh and I had mounted it the "long way" so it would only be 4 or 5 advances-- did not notice until I was ready to advance the 2nd time!!!). Tried only ripping part of it out, but then there was a baggy mess...could have only ripped from the pleat to the one side, but I am so frustrated with myself for not listening to the little voicie in my head Quote Link to post Share on other sites

quietlifeaz 1 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 That little voice drives me crazy some days! yes but if you listen to it you are fine, it is when you ignore it that you get into trouble. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
quietlifeaz 1 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 I really like the "cathedral" corner on the flowers....did not notice that before...gives a nice 3-D effect with the dense backgroup quilting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bonnie 14 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 What ingenious concept. I love the verigated threads with the solid black inside. I'm so stealing this idea. Into my favorites it goes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mamu 152 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 I'm so glad you decided to do the black thread and NOT take out what you had already done. I just knew this would work out and look great....and it DOES! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
