And no, I don't press after it's together, but I wonder if you are holding down the backing with tape when you first start putting your front, back, batt together. That helps keep the wrinkles out and don't forget to keep it all taut when sewing. Sometimes I take an extra little tug on the back to make sure it is taut when I am quilting.
It was fine when I took it off the table to start tying it (child's Noah's Ark quilt). I started in the middle and noticed the backing starting to "bubble" in small rows. Wondering if it could be the cheap fabric my sister-in-law picked out for it (her grandson). The top is a Moda, and I'm not having any problems with it. The bottom is a brown and white cotton from her Mother's sewing stuff that feels similar to a cheap shirt fabric. I really don't want them thinking I don't know what I'm doing, but I guess I don't! :?
