Thanks Maria!
I've been searching on here for hints, and am wishing I could find a tutorial.
What is the reason for changing the tension? Looser stitches? I've never change my tension before, it's not something I could get messed up if I did?
I did see a link for 'Batts In The Attic', to see all her hints. One was to always use low loft batting. I, of course, bought high loft because it was cheapest! So now I know why my green ribbon quilt is looking so puffy, as I'm quilting it in the ditch! I'm going to continue stitching it in the ditch, but then want to try some free motion in the borders....
Thanks for the hints, and for sharing about your own perserverence! (sp?)
