Puffyness in the middle..

Puffyness in the middle..
I am working on a d9p and when I sew the seam to join the 4 squares together, I have a hump in the middle, I took it apart and tried to see what the problem was, just can't figure it out. I know some of you ladies will be able to tell me what I am doing to cause this.. thanks in advance.

If you cutting is good and blocks are squared, you can use spray starch heavily and steam it back into place. Hold the iron above it at first and it will shrink back where you need it to be. Then press gently. Sometimes just handling it too much and ironing instead of pressing will warp it out of shape.

Cut accurately and sew the blocks together without stretching the fabrics. When you sew the squares back together, make sure you nest the seams. Where the seams meet, one seam set goes down and the other seam set goes up so the kind of lock together at the intersection.
