The only thing I might suggest is using starch (if you don't already) when you piece. I LOVE me some starch, and it definitely seems to help with the linen's stretchiness...at least for me! And, like everyone else said...the puckers won't be noticeable once it's been washed.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15330376751008519274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3133349480262766438.post-34355456626678802822013-06-13T09:39:36.745-04:002013-06-13T09:39:36.745-04:00Hi!

First, I have to share a laugh with you -- I read Jacqueline's comment and I read, "...the reptiles have been helpful" - not the "replies have been helpful"! <br /><br />I agree with everyone else. I think it's the linen. I consistently spray baste and I never (per my teacher's instructions) prewash the fabric. I do agree that your puckers will barely be noticeable (especially if there's only two!) once it's washed. I know sometimes it's hard to wash a freshly finished quilt because it's so gorgeous flat. It's a different kind of gorgeous after washing.Lisa Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12502089801927429325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3133349480262766438.post-56753945452282771092013-06-12T12:46:41.407-04:002013-06-12T12:46:41.407-04:00I have no real advice about the puckers, but readi...I have no real advice about the puckers, but reading the comments has been informative. :)Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00945396892040718620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3133349480262766438.post-63942940656669436472013-06-12T12:05:21.587-04:002013-06-12T12:05:21.587-04:00I am still bemused by the comment above aboout att...I am still bemused by the comment above aboout attracting women - who knew! Quilt like mad and then wash and the puckers will dissapear, at least that is how I play it. I wonder with spray basting if it makes a difference if the fabrics are prewashed so the sizing has gone? I think linen is more absorbant so that may have been an issue.Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14653361819930261917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3133349480262766438.post-31753612345426043022013-06-12T11:33:08.360-04:002013-06-12T11:33:08.360-04:00Are you using a hopping foot?

I pin baste - so it means my pins were too far apart.<br /><br />Since you're spray basting, make sure to pre-wash your fabric and don't use fabric softener in the wash or dryer sheets in the dryer. Those make anything sticky (spray or fusible adhesives) not stick as well.<br /><br />Good luck! I know it's frustrating - I'm fussy about that stuff too. :-)Wendi Gratzhttp://www.shinyhappyworld.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3133349480262766438.post-35157122502326815652013-06-12T09:42:58.536-04:002013-06-12T09:42:58.536-04:00Love the photos and your blog!

I get that sometimes withe piecing, sometimes it happens in ironing too, but not often, only when I'm not paying attention to what I am doing. LOL. If I catch the "stretching" in piecing, I will usually try to "resew" that piece to make it work. <br /><br />When quilting, I find it happens due to my basting. I have started to spray baste and found that it happens less often. I'm not the best quilter, so I always just think it's me.<br /><br />Good luck! I am sure whatever you make will come out as gorgeous as EVER!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13759267967757565297noreply@blogger.com
