cegates Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 I have read many times that you can reduce fullness with the starch and steam method, but seeing is believing. I was dreading trying to quilt this border,knowing that every little tuck or pucker would really show on this fabric. I pinned and basted the edge, then sprayed it with water then went over it with a hot, dry iron (with the quilt still on the frame). I was amazed at how well this worked. Yay!!!!!! These photos may be upside down, that happens when I use the iPad for photos, can't figure out how to fix this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cegates Posted June 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Oops - not only are the photos upside down, but they are in the wrong order. The middle one is before spraying/ironing, the first one is after, the third one is after quilting. I guess there is no threat of me breaking into the computer or photography business world. I'll just stick with quilting. Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
