Eleanor Burns has a method of 'swirling' seams by taking out a few stiches in the seamline. This isn't the best color combination for 'on camera' but perhaps you can understand what she is doing. It's right around the 20 minute mark in the video if you want to skip over the first part. Hope this helps.

There is a way to minimize those "lumps" you have. We all have them from time to time, especially with star points coming together. I learned how to stop this from my friend, Eleanor Burns. She has brilliant tips about quilting and many of my quilting tips come from her. There is a link to a free download for a pattern called Autumn-WhiteHouse on page 6 of the pattern is her step by step (with fabulous how-to photos) on how to "swirl" center seams. This is how we all do it now. Try it - it really works! Good Luck! http://www.quiltinaday.com/freepatte...WhiteHouse.pdf
