OK, here's the deal...
I haven't machine quilted a quilt in forever (that's why there are so many on my shelf) but I started one.
I did the center, that went great but when I went to do the straight stitch in the ditch along the first border, then the outer border...I end up with a bunch at the end of the seam. Does this make sense?
I start at one corner (upper right), SID down seam (bottom right), pivote to other corner (bottom left) SID, pivote to come up (upper left) and I have a "bunchup" then I turn to complete the square and end up with a bunchup where I first started.
I am using a walking foot...I have pinned and basted...
Should I go down both sides, in opposite directions then finish top and bottom in opposite directions?
Please help.
