I don't know what happened really. The stitches on the back are soooooooooooo small that I can't even rip them out. It's puckering too. I've played with my tensions so much that I think it's all messed up.
HOWEVER, when I take a piece of one of the top fabrics and make a sandwhich, it sews great.
I don't have a quilting machine, all I have is my Brother sewing machine but like I said, it did the runner just fine. Why not the place mats?????????? Same batting too. So much work and a lot of money invested. I could have bought her a set cheaper!
