I made a quilt called Stars in My Garden. There's a picture of the quilt top & what I found when as I rolled it up on the frame....do I rip it out back to this pucker or do you think it will be better when it's finished & off the frame? Thanks, Debbie

If you're asking the question then I think that means you're not happy with it, and should probably rip it back. JMHO It's a beautiful quilt, by the way!

It will not "magically" get better when it is off the frame. If you can live with it as is, leave it. I am assuming you would have seen a problem before advancing the quilt if it was noticable on the front so I am assuming it is not visible on the front. It may become less noticable after washing.

BUT, if it will bother you, now and forever, rip it. If you plan on showing this quilt, rip it. If you plan on gifting the quilt, rip it.

It looks like your backing got a little loose in the frame. That is what caused this.

Beautiful top BTW

Beautifull Quilt!! I know from experance If it bothers you, you will see it first thing every time you look at the quilt, even if no one else will. So if it bothers you, MAKE LIKE A FROG RIP IT!!

Of course it's right in the middle right? I don't think it's going to get much better off the frame. It is up to you if you can live with it or not. It's a beautiful quilt top and that would take the shine off it for me.

Thanks everyone...I guess I'll be making like a frog. Luckily I'm only about 1/4 of the way into the quilt. Do I have to rip everything out from where I stopped quilting back to the pucker all across the quilt or can you rip out just in that area?

I am not a LA quilter butI would think that you would need to take out from the extra backing fabric outwards towards an edge?

Too pretty of a quilt to not go back and fix it in my humble opinion...

It's a beautiful quilt. I understand your pain at the thought of ripping it out, but I think since you've asked, you're not very happy about. If it's going to bother you everytime you use the quilt or see it, I would say get out the old ripper! You put a lot of time into the making of this and if you won't be happy it will be a shame.

Yes, definitely rip it out or it will haunt you forever especially since the front of the quilt is so beautiful!
