I also long arm and think I understand what Patchwork was saying. Especially with a bed quilt (although I know this was not one)when we lay it over a bed or flat on the floor and don't smooth and fasten to the surface, the fabric can look flat and not be. Good case in point was one of my own bargello quilts--laying on the bed it looked perfect, but once on the frame it was obvious that it wasn't! It was like an acccordian with all those seams.!
