Fabric folded over.
 
Sew your label over it. I won't tell.

Yea, I've done this too. I felt the bump on the bottom, but ignored it till I got to the edge of the quilt. Time it took me to FMQ that part, 4 minutes, time to rip it apart - 2 hours,40 minutes plus all the unmentionable words ever created. Now I baste the quilt to about 1/2 inch of the edge of the borders so I can check that the batting and backing didn't fold under.

Too late, I've done this too! and "Teddybear Lady", I've sewed the slider too...UGH!!! So sorry for your pain, I hate ripping out more than anything. The worst one was flannel top with minky back...tension was off, didn't look good, took 4 days to rip out a small baby blanket.

Your FMQing is soo gorgeous!! I'm a new FMQer and it hasn't happened to me (YET, but I'm sure it will). Thanks for the warning!

UGH! I hate it so much when that happens. Step back for a day or two and come back to fix it once your blood stops boiling.
