Does anyone know about this book and is it worth the $60.00 to order it? Grannysherry
I usually just keep everything loose. I just let it puddle and make sure it is flat where I am quilting. That way it isn't all stiff when you are trying to move it around. It is too stiff if you try rolling it up. I, personally, start with the middle row, just thinking about 1 block at a time. I start at one end of the row and quilt to the other end of it. When I am done with that row, I start on the next, just doing one block at a time.
I hope that made sense and I hope it helped. You will want to make a practice sandwich and practice on it first. I do that before every project.
