Do I really have to undo it all?
"Newbie-ness" alert here folks....I'm desperate for advice.
How do you tell if your backing isn't "smooth" enough after quilting? I'm halfway through quilting my chevron quilt with straight line stitching approximately 1.5 inches apart, filling in the chevrons, 6 rows of quilting per chevron row (blocks are 8") and am concerned that the backing seems a bit sort of bunched or "foofed" between the rows of stitching. Is it acceptable that the back isn't completely smooth/flat? If I put a bit of pull on the quilt it all flattens out a bit between the rows. Crikey, do I, should I, pull it all out and rebaste etc? I tremble at the mere thought of it. I was checking the backing every so often but it didn't really become obvious until I was about halfway done....oh dear.....what am I to do...I'm too embarassed to take it to the local Quilt Shop to ask advice...bit of a private sook! How do these pictures of my backing and stitching rows look? I'm using a 60/40 wool/poly batting.
