If you are quilting on a domestic machine when quilting you usually work from the center out if I remember right and I would think the "stretches" would be a problem. But with just going around the edges, maybe make sure the same stretch goes the same direction for both top and back and possible a stabilizer. To be honest outside of using a stabilizer I don't know how to change that outcome and would love to hear what anybody else has been successful with.
The only other thing I can think of is Pin Pin Pin Pin.
I am quilting on a domestic machine. I did straight line quilting from one end to the other. I forgot to start from the middle and quilt outwards. Thanks for the reminder. I used the minky WOF of 60" for the length of the quilt, so I think the problem lies in the width being the stretchiest and quilting it from one end to the other.Pinning and using stabilizer are also great advice. I will take it all. Thanks bunches!
