The only way I can avoid those pleats is to pin backing literally to my carpeting. Then put pins no farther apart than a handspan. Must have used 100.s in my King. My first ones had pleats until another quilter told me about pinning to the carpet.No more pleats. But you have to constantly look at the back. Thought I'd lose my mind ripping out one of the 1st quilts. DH hears me hollering to myself, he heads for the back door!

Oh, I have been there and done exactly that! In my second year of quilting I made a large red and white quilt for my best friend to thank her for teaching me to quilt. I was so darn proud...until I turned it over, and there was a HUGE folded over flap about 1/3 the way down the quilt from one corner. I had finished the quilting, and the only thing I would have done was rip the whole thing out. Well, since the backing was a very busy print, I just took some matching thread and sewed that flap down. It doesn't show. When I gave her the quilt I told her it had a very large "OOPS" in it. She said she would not be looking for it. I know if I asked her about it now, after 3 years, that she would still not know where it is. She loves me, and she keeps her word!!

Ha-Ha-Ha!!! :-D :-D
