Quilt backing
 

I am having a hard time getting my quilt backs quilted down flat with no wrinkles.
What is my problem ? I press fabric and pin very well but I am still having trouble with them.
Help please !

I buy large (108" wide) backs from Christian Lane. I donot wash them, just iron the creases using a bit of water spray.
They lay very flat.
I always had trouble if I'd washed the back before sandwiching - so I stopped.

do you tape the backing to the floor or if using a table, do you use clips or something to hold the backing in place?
i usually use spray basting so I don't pin anymore. it's difficult to get it to stay completely flat, for me anyway.
i hear starching it first helps a lot. tell us more how you put your layers together first

You may be pulling the backing too tight. Ask me how I know.

Hi
I know I am new to this site, but I found spray glue (fabric) that washes out excellent for ensuring no wrinkles, good luck

I do my sandwiching on my long dining room table. I take care pressing fabric and pinning but I'm still getting those darn wrinkles. I am wondering about starching pretty stiff though to keep it from gathering up .What does everyone think ?

I find it necessary to starch my backings- and then I use painters tape to hold them to the floor while I baste.

I hand quilt, so as I move my frame to a new area I make sure all layers are tightened and make adjustments as needed

When quilting, do you start in the center and work out? It also helps to stabilize the quilt with a vertical and horizontal seam if possible, then work out in quarters.
