Thanks for the warning- what an irritating happenstance!

Thanks for the advice.

"My flakes are frosted" (must be modern) ---- "My knickers were in a twist" (this is English - I used to live there). Gosh, I'm learning new ways to express myself. Love it! Glad you didn't use acronyms. I'd really be lost.

But the point is, you made an excellent point. I'm accustomed to looking over the cheap, on sale fabric. Hadn't occurred to me I need to be doing the same thing for the not-on-sale expensive stuff too. But anything is fallible. And the last thing I want is to get in the middle of a project and discover a flaw, or several flaws. It makes me lose my sense of humor. Thanks for the heads up!

I usually just look at the side that's up when they cut. Now I'll be more vigilant in checking the entire piece out. Thanks!

Thanks for the tip- you probably saved some of us from major problems!
Can't wait to see that quilt when you get it back. I love your work and Charisma's is to die for :D

Yes, you're right. And also check if you wash your backing fabric - ask me how I know this....lol. Charisma saved my hinnie when my backing fabric shrunk 6". She's a jewel!

First quilt, sandwiched yesterday pm. My backing is dark and purchased specifically for this quilt - I too, bought the pricier stuff but at discount. Flipped my "newly sandwiched" over and spied a small speck of batting so tried to pluck it off. It wasn't batting, well ok, it was batting peeking thru a tiny slice in the backing. Ohhhh noooo! Guess that's where my tag will go. Wasn't going to do one but I am now. After the fact, hand applique or? Any suggestions? Griping accomplished nothing but I am grumbling . . Grr!
