I did not think this was a difficult project. As mentioned above, the key to it laying flat is pressing. pressing, pressing, steam, steam, steam, press, press, press (anyone else a Martha Pullen fan)? Let the machine do the work of pulling the fabric through the feed dogs, don't help. :-)
Forgot to say: I used batting scraps. I cut them about 1/8" smaller than the strips. This worked well because of the folding over of the strips. (Also used fabric I will never use in another project-remember how you liked it when you first got it, then 10-15 years later, not so much............
I cut/finished these at the same time. The larger one I use at my back door and the smaller one, is for my feet in the morning. :-) (bedside).
