Also, the backing fabric is so loose on the edges that I am getting rumples in the back as I quilt the border. I am so disgusted w/this frame but I have to finish this quilt on it now unless there is any way to take it out of the frame and put it in a different one.
Any suggestions as to how to correct the batting drift and backing issues? Would it be unwise to switch to a different frame, or is that even possible?
Thanks,
Jenna
Jenna, I had some issues with the batting on my last quilt. That was because I had made all my layers the same size. I used some clips to hold my layers together from the take up roller all the way back to where the layers first came together. If you don't have clips, you can use pins, then remove then remove them when you roll the quilt, and adjust the batting and pin again back to where the quilt top come over to meet the backing and batting. Hope that helps.
