circular quilt question
#1
Hi everyone...I'm making a round table quilt. I have the top all put together and I'm ready to put the batting and backing on it. I am planning on using the two sided fusible batting (never tried it before), but I am concerned because the center of my quilt does not seem to lay flat. All the points from the 40 triangular pieces meet for a circle in the middle and pucker up. Any suggestions on how to get those tiny sewn pieces to lay flat. I will try to get a picture so you can see what I'm talking about.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

See how the center puckers

You must be using the 9 degree ruler, 40 pieces would equal 36o degrees.
Some times my circle would be a little full in the middle. I would inspect my seam near the middle and resew any that are less than 1/4 in.. It is aggravating, because you might have to resew most all of them to get it flat.

I'm not sure yet what material I will be putting in the center, but if I recall, don't I quilt it first and then put the applique on? Sorry, if I appear a little "dumb" I haven't quilted in about 6 years and it's hard to remember. Do you think I can just stitch in the ditch and sort of gather it along the way down to smooth it out?
