Small project bunching up after quilting
I just finished free motion quilting (with Bernina BSR) a small wall hanging (19 x 25). It's called Chilly Charlie and it's a snowman head with a hat & bird and 3 large snowflakes. I did a really simple FMQ design of just loops and curves - no quilting on the snowman/hat/bird. It seems as if the areas that I quilted scrunched/shrunk up. This now makes the areas that I didn't quilt bunch and 'poof' up. It's especially noticeable around the snowflakes - they don't lay flat - like they have a bubble in them.
This is only the 3rd FMQ project that I've done and did not have a similar problem with the other 2. This is the first time I've done a project with the BSR. Perhaps I didn't keep the project pulled flat when I did the quilting? Any ideas on what I might have done wrong would be appreciated!
