I'm hoping to work on my project next week. I have some small projects to get finished first (makes money for me so it's important).
Im wondering if maybe I didn't experience what you are describing because I rolled my fabric onto the batting aligning and smoothing as I rolled it down the column of batting. I sprayed the batting instead of the fabric after I tried laying out the first border unit awkwardly in folds. Also making my backing piece and batting wider than the top piece helped.
