wrinkles in with MFQ
1 Attachment(s)
I'm practicing free motion quilting on a baby quilt. Can someone tell me what's causing the type of wrinkles showing in the pink triangle? I don't see why that should be happening, and it doesn't happen most of the time.

First let me say that your quilt is so pretty. I love the colors & block design. I don't have an answer as to why you have wrinkles in the pink triangle unless maybe that area was a bit loose when you pin basted it. It certainly doesn't look to me like it will present a problem. After the quilt is washed you will never see the wrinkles. I would not be concerned if it were my quilt.

Since you are quilting on the bias, it can cause the wrinkles. You might be able to do a small ribbon candy design between the curved stitching to disguise it.
|
I think it looks fine.

I find that fabrics act differently according to their weave and/or dye amount in a fabric. Also the bias definitely helps the problem. Once laundered it will probably not make a difference.

Tartan - What do you mean "ribbon candy design " ? I'm not familiar with it - please explain. Thanks :)
|
I think it looks fine. After washing you will not see that pucker or wrinkle as it will move right into the quilt. Your FMQ is nicely done. Good Job! I wouldn't worry about it.
|
when quilting on the bias, it's easier to get these tiny puckers, especially when you go one direction, then go the other direction. I think that once washed this won't be noticeable.

Ribbon candy looks like this but after washing the batt may puff up enough that the wrinkles may be less noticeable.[ATTACH=CONFIG]619444[/ATTACH]

It's from quilting along the bias, holding the quilt maybe a little too tightly while doing it? When it's washed and things pucker up a bit, it either won't be noticeable at all or will hardly be noticeable.
|
I really love both the quilt and the material. I agree that puckering will not be noticeable after you wash it.

These are gentle curves - why not try doing them with a walking foot to see if it goes better? If not, I think what you've done looks just great.
|
I like that block a lot- what wrinkles?

Carol if possible, try a ruler foot and rulers. Not only can you FMQ in all directions but I find following a ruler easier. My stitches look better, with the Bernina adjustable foot height I can go from regular sewing to FMQ with no tension issues. Laying the ruler over the quilt also helps to keep everything flat. I didn’t think I would use them much but now I use them all the time.
