Thanks sewgood. The longarmer said she’d get in touch with me if there was a problem. Thanks Cathy. Both sides are 120” and the selvages matched perfectly. I cut the fabric at the same repeat, prewashed, starched and pressed the 3 pieces of the backing. The pattern was printed perfectly across the grain. I am mad at myself for not laying each piece on the floor and pulling on the bias to get it square before I joined the selvages. I always do that but was rushing and the pieces were long and narrow (42” after prewashing by 102”) so I don’t know if that would have worked anyways. It was when we held up the seamed piece (102x 120”) that I noticed it was not squared and off by a few inches. Cathy, thanks for answering. It sounds like you would be able to adjust it if you were doing the quilting and what you said made sense. Hopefully, i’ll Sleep better tonight!
