She said that when you add your batting, to cut it kind of curvy like and then use the tape that you iron on to join it to the other sections. I ended up buying two packages of the tape, I think they are one and two inches wide. So far, I have not used the tape. I do hope I recounted it correctly what she said to us.
I'm dense on what to do. Cut the batt curvy and overlap it a bit? Or cut it curvy and match up curve to curve so the tape works better? I just got the book after becoming so frustrated trying to 'puddle' quilt. But I haven't gotten a chance to read it yet. If she shared any other changes, or if these changes are available somewhere, please advise. Thank you!
