Well, I should have done a search on washing a finished quilt top on the Quilting Board before I washed mine. Everything all you experienced quilters said came true!! All the fabric was washed before piecing, but still there was a lot of raveling and my seams are all going different ways. I got up early this morning to start to press my top and it does not seem too bad since I have cut almost all the threads. I was planning to go to my LQS to have a long arm quilter do the quilting, but will I be causing the quilter lot's more problems? I could kick myself.
