Thanks for all the great advice.
I could try gluing. I've done that before to match seams. Actually it is supposed to go on a stand. So I could just glue the whole thing together. Ha
I could try thinner thread. I've never done that before. What about serger thread? Is that a good weight? I have huge spools of that.
I didn't think about the fact that the HST's could have bias edges at this point. Starch? Hmm. Never found one that doesn't stink me out. So I haven't starched.
I've learned that picking a small project isn't necessarily an easy project. Seems it can be harder and as much work as a whole bed quilt.
Fortunately it was only $15 for the kit. And there is a lot of 30's fabrics leftover. Any great patterns out there for 30's fabrics?
