I agree, but it seems amplified with the shift in the wool, and even though I can 'stretch' out the excess, it results in a rippled finish that isn't great.. I've found with cotton, this isn't a problem so much. Considering I full trip across the quilt is 8' or 9', a quarter of an inch or so is minimal to work out, but it doesn't lay as nice. .
