That is gorgeous with the flame material in there. I have good luck with flat diamonds if I starch heavily and I do mean heavily.

What is the angle of your diamond? Is it a 45 or 60? Love your flames!

littlharley

tis one was a 45
but i do have the 60 too ....

Sounds like there is a seam allowance difference somewhere. Is that possible? Put it together in small sections and double check often.

Spritz with water and then iron. I got this tip from a longarm quilter. She said she has to do this to a lot of quilts that come in for quilting.

This would be after you have sewn it together. Also if you starch the individual pieces, remember to lift your iron up and down so you don't make the diamonds wonky. Good Luck. It is eye catching with the flame fabric
