I've been making a quilt for a 3-year-old grandson. I'm proud of how the top went together - with a few sessions of unsewing, but from there it just keeps getting worse and worse. I sewed it together pillowcase style and 3 sides are great. The corner of one long side is almost a ruffle. Ignored it for a while and began to tie it - I put in higher loft batting than usual, cause I was going for the fluffy look and can't possible quilt it on my Plain Jane machine. There's no way it's going to work - not smooth at all. So my plan is to cut off the outside seam on the ruffly side - clamp it to a table - smooth it as much as possible - pin the dickens out of it and resew that side - just by ironing the seam in and sewing it from the top. I'll have to take out most of my current ties - I'm just about 1/4 through. When I have it clamped down I hope I can see what ties can stay and which ones have to come out.
This is the largest quilt I've done - and it's just twin size! The fluffiest batting - the first quilt to tie. I just don't know what I'm doing!
So --- will this work as well as anything? Any other suggestions?
This is just the top so it won't help with my problem, but this is what I started with:
