Puckered quilting
Hi. I’m new here, but I’m an old hand hat quilting. My problem is my quilts always pucker along the stitching lines after I wash them. I use all cotton fabrics which I prewash in cold water. I wash them in cold water in a large capacity, front loading commercial washer and let them air dry. I also use cotton batting and have tried all types of thread. They come out of the washer puckered. I have tried everything I can think of including loosening and tightening the fabric tension on both the top and backing And anything else I could think of. This happens no matter the backing type. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I mean, it’s great if I want an antique look, but I don’t always. Anyway, I have run on too long so thank you in advance
