I can happily cut, stitch and complete my quilt top. After that, downhill like a rock. The rule is allow 3" all the way around the quilt top for your batting and backing. Okay, got that. Then the pinning. I personally use the little gun that shots the plastic ties into your other hand,. but it is extremely difficult for me to get the sandwich it self totally flat and ripple free. Then when I do actually accomplish this, (usually on a wall hanging only size) the real fun begins. I machine quilt. So I try to figure where to start? Dead center, and go what way... and since I have a little experienced with free hand motion as yet, I try to stitch pretty much to the "in the ditch". Mine is more like the side of the curb and the trash can. But I continue. and then the dreading binding. I am working on that and will be taking a class on binding in the next weeks. that will include Scullups and such. when I finish my project which does look well in the over contex, I pick up the magazine and the machine quilting that made the quilt stand out to the point I had to make it, the two weren't even close. I will take any and all thoughts on A where to actually start your quilting, B and tips that anyone might have on keeping your sandwich smooth and tight for pinning by what ever method you could share. Red flag went up so .. anyhelp?
