MarionsQuilts

Good evening!

I'm doing a small irish chain quilt (practicing for the big one) and I'm running into a hiccup ...

Usually, when I am going to do FMQ I do some SITD to keep my fabric in place. However, when I was doing it with this mini-quilt, the seams are so thick that I couldn't go "in the ditch" and it skipped a lot, and it has also bunched up some of my fabric (and it is sprayed down too!)

Here's my question: should I just leave it and do all my quilting, and then when I am done, take out the SITD? I'm planning on doing an FMQ pattern in all of the white squares, and appliqueing some butterflies (from other fabric) in some of them as well. I will also be doing some quilting in the 9-patch squares.

Thanks so much,
