Help needed: backing fabric puckering
I'm fairly new to quilting and have run into a problem with my latest project. Every time I quilt the backing it ends up wrinkling. I've tried various solutions -
I've changed the backing fabric
I've pinned with smaller gaps
I've increased stitch length to 3
I've slowed the stitching right down
I'm using a new needle
None of it has worked.
I don't think it's the original sandwich because I've been so careful; securing the fabric to my conservatory floor with tape and then smoothing from the centre out.
But after 6 attempts I'm still getting the problem you can see in the photo
About to unpick yet again and am thinking that it might be easier to do some echo quilting of each block starting from the centre rather than straight lines. (I'm not up to anything more sophisticated than that at the moment)
Thoughts???
