    Well if I were asked I would say you can't allow this to ruin your good work. Out with the stitches that offend.

    I worked two years on mine its called canadian garden, I was learning the free motion tech. Beautiful top. the back made me sick with all the puckers. I hate it I did not rip it out because it would have been the ruin of the fabric. If you can rip do it gladly.

    I just wanted to let everyone know that I did rip it out back past the pucker. I bought extra loft batting because I wanted the stars to puff out...which they are, but I think there will be a puffy area (not a pucker, but still not liking it) between each row. I'll post a picture of the quilt when I get it finished. Thank you all for the advice & letting me know that I'm not the only one that can create puckers.

    If you are asking the question - I think you know the 'right answer for you' -

    The top is lovely - and the extra on the back may not be overly noticeable to others - but it won't magically disappear and even after washing, will be a bit looser than the rest of the backing

    I usually read all the posts - but this time I didn't-

    I'm glad you decided to take care of it.
