I was so frustrated--I had already made several and not had the problem. What was different? I had used a new type of batting, but couldn't see how that would have been the problem. Then the light went on. I had used the water soluble blue marking pen to mark the quilting motifs on the centers of these runners. Though I know you are supposed to "submerge" to remove the marks, I typically spray heavily or use a very wet cloth and saturate the area. But usually the markings have been evenly dispersed over the entire piece that I am quilting. On these runners I had used no marking, or a different type of marker around the outer layers. The "wet" parts in the middle had shrunk slightly upon drying, leaving the outer edges longer and wavy. I submerged the entire piece, pinned it out straight on my carpeted floor to dry (with an old towel under it), and the waviness is gone!Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-54586611148170715592012-06-21T11:04:51.369-04:002012-06-21T11:04:51.369-04:00You mentioned bad habits with water soluble thread...You mentioned bad habits with water soluble thread. When I first started using it I was carefully pulling up my threads and cutting them when necessary to go to new areas, and then realized there was no reason I couldn't just carry the loose thread across the quilt and start sewing again. So much easier!<br /><br />I did laugh though- it came with a "not for swimsuits" warning. Really, it seems like it shouldn't be for ANY garments.Jessimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05442665425448000014noreply@blogger.com
