After a few attempts, I finally got it right! It looks so much better and finally lays flat. I'm about 2/3 done with this quilt. I'm hoping there aren't many more of these areas as I advance the quilt. I want this quilt to lay nice and flat once I'm done and take it off the longarm. I'm saying a little prayer until it's finished!
I'm finally retired and feel I can do what I love. I'm so happy to be out of the rat race! I try to quilt, read and knit as much as possible. I love to get comments and will respond to each and every one! I hope you enjoy my little blog as much as I do! Thank you for visiting me!

Quilting a Wavy Border
I knew this antique quilt top was going to be a challenge to me. Look at this border. So much fabric! This picture makes it look better than it actually was! I didn't know what to do with all that extra fabric.
Here's another view. I ripped out my quilting a few times because I saw a few puckers. I decided to stretch out the fabric and pin it so the bulk was spread out evenly throughout the area I was quilting.

Nicely done with that extra fabric--I guess the "wavey border" problem has been around for a while;))) Yours looks perfect now..hugs, Julieroe.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julierose! I've been guilty of wavey borders myself but not as bad as this.
DeleteGreat job. It looks nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dawn!! I hope there aren't too many more areas like this left on the quilt. It's a pain to deal with.
