How about with batting? I am going to put a ruffle on a quilt that I am working on and I have never done a ruffle using the birthing method, so I wanted to try something new. But I don't want to get in over my head. This is a twin size quilt and it will have batting. Any thoughts?
I am in process of making a king size double wedding ring quilt. I am doing half at a time since it is huge! But I wanted scalloped outer edge and didn't want a binding. I used batting and backing, clipped curves and turned.
Make sure if you do ruffles, put them facing inside so when you turn it, they face outside.
Good luck! Take your time. Enjoy!
