:wink: I started trying to teach myself to quilt while riding in a Semi with my husband the last two years. I have completed a couple of quilts (one is falling apart) and my mom told me I should use a thin batting for a stabilizer. I used this for a few quilts and have since found out that is not what I should use as I cannot iron the seams down and there is a bulge where the seams come together. I have the front of another quilt done using this technique. Does anyone have a suggestion now?

is there any way for you to use a travel iron while the truck is running so you can press your seems.

There was a lady on Simple Quilts year ago that used a sewing machine while hubby drove. she had a small sewing machine.
