Sharon Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Getting into some great wholecloth designs. A couple of instructors extradonnaire, namely Helen and Shirley, have advised to starch, starch, starch to death a wholecloth design to minimize the amount of movement and relailgnment when quilting a wholecloth (did I get this right Helen and Shirley?). Rather than email them privately, I have decided to open this topic to discussion. When thinking this through, I usually float my tops and batting, but if equal tension and heavy starch is in order, do it not seen more reasonable to tension the quilt top (at the bottom after basting the top to the backing) to provide more equal tension throughout as well as starch this top heavily? Your thoughts and advice are most appreciated. Thanks in advance! Sharon Prescott, AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Sharon, I only do a partial float, I like the tension on the top. Starch is a very good suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
