It's pretty off...
What's a twist and turn setting? |
I think something like funky log cabin blocks where each side is off kilter. does that make sense?

Oh--yes!! I know what you mean. Make them dizzy kind of squares so they won't know anything is off! :lol: Thank you.

When penning it down if thats what you decide, measure corner to corner and make sure they are the same, give it a little tug to adjust. Good Luck :)

I'm glad to read this post as I have a couple of panels and sometimes I dont think they look quite straight. I haven't done anything with them yet but this is good info!
|
My avatar quilt pic here is not squared, can you tell? I paid $10 for the panel at local LQS and was very upset after it was washed, dried and crooked! I just kept trimming the corners & sides a little here and there, until it looked less noticeable.
This brings up another question. If you buy a panel at an LQS and it's crooked after wash/dry, can you return it for refund or credit with your receipt? I mean if it were beyond straightening $10 is a lot to lose! |
I've learned to check to see if the panels are printed on-grain before buying them.
Once they are washed, they want to do their own thing, and if it's printed off-grain, it usually gets very wonky. In response to the question: kick myself for not having checked the piece over before buying it. |
It sounds like you got lots of great suggestions. I can't wait to see the quilt.
