Ok, I have completed a quilt top that has a wide outer border. I want to know if I can press the quilt top or not before I pin it to my backing and batting? It is a panel in the center and a 2 1/2 inch border then a 1 inch border and then an outer border of 10 inches. I'm just afraid of my last border stretching cause the last quilt I did with a wide border, the border of the quilt would not lay flat. It had alot of ripples. I am going to fix it when I am done with this quilt. I just had to put the other one away for a while but I don't want to end up with the same problem with this one too. I was more careful about not stretching out the fabric when I sewed it on this time.
