So the pinning and putting the side with the most "baggy bottoms" on the bottom side when sewing helped to ease in the fabric. A couple of small puckers but nothing that was really noticeable. I'm teaching her to quilt, so its best to start out with good habits such as pinning and checking your seam allowance every time. Hope this helps.
