Applique "puffing out" quilt
I have done a quilt and when I took it off the long arm, some of the applique areas are sort of puffing out a bit. As a result, the quilt doesn't lie completely flat in those areas.
I did a lot of research and basted everything before I outline stitched the applique areas. Then went in and quilted the inside.
This is a pretty big applique...bigger than a large dog...and most of it turned out really well but there are two or three areas that are puffy.
I can't remove the applique...Any ideas on what to do?
Could I add some more quilting in the negative space on my domestic? Would that tack it down, or just push the problem off somewhere else?
Could I try dampening it and blow-drying it on high to try and shrink the fabric?
Thanks, Watson
