Oh, I hate that you are having a problem. I have used Bernatex before and not had any trouble. I even sometimes shop specifically for it by brand name because I know that I like the quality. Hummmm...must have been something for that kit. I'll have to admit that i haven't bought any plaids or stripes. I think I make my quilts difficult enough without adding that burden to my plate :lol: :lol:
Hope you can finish it without loosing your sanity. Good luck! When can we seee a pic?
