Alright, so the glue mostly stuck, I must have done the right amount.
My problem now, I laid out my top to see how it would fit and I've got some serious puckering issues! I guess the inner rectangle isn't square on one corner (100-115 degrees instead of 90 degrees) I didn't notice this until now, so now my big border is off. What would you guys suggest?
These are my ideas:
1.) Try to iron it as flat as possible on the floor (on a lower setting because the batting is 100% poly with mylar in the middle)
2.) Pick it up again and try to iron it as flat as possible on my ironing board.
3.) Pick it up again and try to sew a new seam, to try to make that corner as square as possible.
4.) Not worry about it and glue it down as flat as possible. The quilting might take some of the puckering out and it might not be very noticeable.
5.) Listen to one of you fine quilters' expert advice!!
Below I'm posting pictures of the puckering. And of the embroidery that actually worked out really well for me not having embroidered anything since I was in junior high.
