Second, it is really thin, which lends to the third problem I had with it. It contorted a lot for me. Now this may have just been me and my experience with it, I'm not sure. It seemed like every seam I had that met the gingham, it would end up that I was short on the gingham side. Then it would twist and pull and end up looking like my lines in the quilt were all messed up. If you look closely you can see some of it. Everything else ended up meeting well except that, and made the whole thing look like it was put together a little shoddy to me.
Overall, I am happy with it, I did pretty good on the quilting, it being so small, and the binding went quickly too. I don't think that anyone that doesn't quilt would ever notice anything that I am talking about. So, if anyone has any tricks to using gingham that I just don't know, feel free to share! ~ Karen
