Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I have recently made (2) Dresden Plates and for some reason when I finish the plate it will not lay flat and I have to go back and adjust several seams. Please tell what I'm doing wrong. I am using the Easy Dresden plate template by Darlene Zimmerman; trying to keep 1/4" seams, etc. and I cannot figure out my problem. I have watched tutorials on DP and they don't mention this problem..thanks for any info you have.
I'm so glad I found this link. I had the same problem with a Dresden Plate I made two days ago...really thought i had been careful with my 1/4" seams. Anyway, the ring was a tad bigger around the middle than the outer edges, so it was kind of wrinkley. Although all the hints are useful, the idea of assembling quarters and then squaring them up sounds like it will make it foolproof.
Thank you all!
