If I don't make all 3 quilt layers smooth and pulled taut and keep them clipped at the edges until I've finished pinning, I get puckers. (I fold the 3 layers over the edges of my plywood tabletop and then clip with 2" wide clips -- an office supply item.)

Oops, I went back to edit my original post, but now I have two of them instead. Sorry!
