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" binding clips -- an office supply item.) I think that if you have puckers now, you will get more and I don't see how you could fix them later.
Thanks. I did do that. I can't bear the thought of repinning it all plus I've sewn 3 seams across already...Only 2 little puckers so far but 2 none the less. Kim
