I did as many of you suggested: pulled out stitches in the vicinity of the pucker. As soon as I pulled out a certain row, the whole thing just flattened out, and I requilted it. It looks so nice now. Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!

T thought I was the only one crazy enough to do do this! You're right, it doesn't take as long as you might think.r

I also agree, just start carefully removing the stitches from the area and see if there is any way to get the quilt to lay flat. Good Luck.

I would pull out the stitches in that area. Work at laying it flat. If you have stretched it out to the point of it not laying completely flat, you may have to take a small dart/pleat in the fabric. Then restitch. And remember,once you have done this, you will probably be the only person who will ever notice the spot!

As much as I might hate to say it, if it were my quilt I would probably "unsew" it, then really pin it down when you quilt it to avoid the "bubble".
