I have recently been working on our charity quilt, and noticed after I stitched in the ditch all the sashings that there was a little bit of puckering, caused I believe due to me having to tighten up my thread tension a little more that usual, as I was using a different colour in the bobbin and didn't want it to show....anyway, I decided to chance ironing it to smooth this out....

I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it came out....I was under the impression that you shouldn't iron after quilting as you can flatten the wadding etc., which got me wondering ...WHAT DOES EVERYONE HERE ON THE BOARD DO???????? :D

I have since ironed the top of the Moda Disappearing 9 patch, and have to say although a little flatter it looks so much better to me anyway lol!!
