Wideback woes
I am so frustrated....I have purchased a length of wideback and am having a world of trouble trying to get it square. I have pulled threads and carefully cut along the channel left from the pulled thread and yet my fabric is still not square. When I lay the backing out I am still getting folds in the backing and I can now see where it seems to be stretched out of shape so despite the thread pull and trim I still have the original problem. When I lift it up and join the selveges and "do the jiggle" I am still having to shift the fabric to get a relaxed drop. Now if I trim this, aren't I mucking up my "squaring"? Could this just be a bad length of fabric? Should I just trim again and not worry about it not being square so long as it lays flat for me? I've been quilting for over 10 years and never had such trouble. Any suggestions would be great...thankyou.
