I am a 63 year old married woman, retired from truck driving. If you have it we may have brought it! We are battened down and sitting out a small snow squall for the past few days. What better way to spend the time than quilting? I am new to the Quilting Board. Hopefully I will make new friends that can help me "learn" as I go. I have only made one quilt and that was about 34 years ago, by hand. That turned out fair. Now I have made a quilt top from my mothers jogging suits and have met with a problem or two. I'm sure there are a few out there that know what I am talking about. I have a Hinterberg Easy Build Plus Hand Quilting frame with 3 poles. The quilt top when pinned onto the frame has loose fabric in areas and does not lay down flat. I have tried stretching it tighter but am afraid it will not stay in shape when quilted and unpinned. Any ideas on how to "quilt" this will be welcome. Seems I have "extra" fabric. :oops: Hopefully I can get this finished. Thanks Brenda
