Feline, you are a gem! Thank you for taking the time to explain this and with pics! Your tucks are hardly noticeable and I would not have seen them unless you pointed them out. Yes, this is why my question was asked of long armers. We have all levels of quilters. Some of the quilt tops are ones from a person we have not even met. She had a business and some tops that were donated to her are really a challenge. They look like they were done in the 1980's because of some of the fabrics. Probably not rotary cut either. So far, we have done quite well with them once finished. I have learned from so many of you who posted on this. Thank you!
