Quilt Bottom Bunching
I just finished quilting my first quilt. Using the Gracie King. When I pulled it off the frame, there was some "bunching" about every 10" all the way across the quilt. The only thing I can figure is that I was bungie clamping all 3 layers as I quilted. Did this cause my bunching?
thanks for any advice anyone can give me.

Of course, I'm assuming you were using cotton and not something stretchy, such as Minkee.
