I have to remember to stretch the backing better next time. I will post back when I am done, with pictures of course. Stay glued!
I tried this recently on a baby quilt. There were a few puckers when I finished sandwiching, so I took the steam iron to the back and smoothed them out from the middle. It worked like a charm, and it is now as smooth as a baby's bottom! I think I love this technique.
