Your quilting looks wonderful. You will gain confidence with each one.

A trick to make a quilt look great after quilting is to steam it. Just take a good steam iron lightly over the surface and it, well I can't describe what it does, I don't want to say flattens since you just go lightly, maybe evens it out describes it. You will love it. When I was doing landscapes on my small machine, I learned to do this.

Thanks so much for the tip. This quilt was a little ruffly at the bottom and I had quite a time getting it even without puckers. I'll try the steam and see if it helps it.
