    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.

    With the walking foot I'd have to keep turning the quilt; it would take forever. This is so much faster. I'm also trying to improve my FMQ skills with this quilt. Still working hard at it. :-)

    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.
