How do you keep strip quit piecing straight - suggestions?
#41
Wow! What an education this forum is, not just for strip piecing, but for good quilting in general! It's added a whole lot of "I'm going to try this out!" to my quilting plans!
I also read somewhere, and I'll swear it was on this Quilting Board, that someone solved their problem of wonky strip piecing by foundation piecing the strips. Sounds like it could be worth trying!
Cheers!

Was this before or after the top was quilted? If it's after quilting, it is not at all unusual for the quilting to draw in or shrink the quilt a bit. This is why a lot of quilters will square their quilt after it's been quilted, before putting on binding. If you have a lot of dense quilting in a medallion or applique center, that could cause an hourglass shape.
