On my quilt frame now is a whole cloth quilt that I began more than ten years ago. I had a tiny pattern and enlarged it to a lap size quilt. The pattern is lovely and I love hand-quilting, but back then, I quickly tired of it and put it away for years. After finishing my applique quilt I was inspired to work on this one again. I put the quilt frame in the living room and work on it each evening as I sit “listening” to the TV. (I love Hallmark movies.) It was only about 1/3 done before….and I already have at least 2/3 done now. At this rate it will soon be considered another winter project finished!!
Does anyone out there know what causes the puckering during hand quilting? or if there is a way to prevent this? It is not everywhere in the quilt…only in certain places. It won’t matter after I am finished and soak the quilt, as I imagine it will all be “puckery.”
Have fun stitching whatever it is you are working on! Amities, Averyclaire
