I learned it while making a prairie skirt, seems like sewing in a different direction from the seams causes a garment not to hang well and a lot of them pucker. <br /> Can't remember which way she said to follow the stitching, whether against or with it. I think the top stitching followed the seams. If they were stitched top to bottom, I was supposed to do top to bottom top stitching also. Might be fun to try it on a small piece and see if it helps. Hard to do, but you might think about trying it the next time you make a quilt like this. Dragonl1lyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12262564565947095904noreply@blogger.com
