I iron my table runners after I wash them. They lay flat then.

I agree, that looks like a binding issue to me. It's so easy to stretch the binding a bit when applying, and get these ripples. The topper is really lovely!

I've read an noted that others have said what was my first thought...the edge/binding seems to be the culprit. Did you use bias binding? If yes, and your overnight blocking doesn't work - perhaps straight grain binding would be the answer. It's really so pretty - I hope you get it sorted out.

It's beautiful. They tend to get flatter as you use them and put things on them on the table. I have to wash the one I use most, because it gets too flat!
