I think I have a bigger problem..........was I suppose to do the marking before I basted the backing on? I did the thread basting and its only about 2-3 finger widths apart. I was going to SITD at first but decided I want to be a bit more daring. I realize now that nowhere did I read or see anything telling me what order I should do it in. All the videos that showed markings on the quilt sandwiches so I didn't no if it was done before or after it was put together.
