Trouble with the floral Bargello...1/2 done, but uneven at the end...

I'll add my two cents, Barnbum -- Your bargello with the florals is breathtaking! I'm beginning to explore the possibility of trying my hand at a bargello, so I love seeing the photos of finished ones and even WIPs. Because I love batiks so much, I'd assumed that I'd make a batik bargello (when I get up the nerve to actually attempt a bargello, that is!), but after seeing the bright, happy colors of your floral fabrics, I'm rethinking my assumption -- I hope you'll post more photos as you progress, or at least post a picture of the finished product. I'll be watching out for it...

i agree about the starch. i buy the liquid concentrate and mix to my desired stiffness. i start at 50/50 on the back of the quilt top.
the last two horizontal seams aren't too bad at all, so that kind of proves the stretching theory. but i agree that the whole thing has to be put together first. don't fret.
i love the contrast. :-)

Glad to see you error, because I have one partial made and it was going scatty-wompus too. I used an OLD machine and I wonder if it was pushing the top fabric too much with heavy pressure plate. Thanks to all you gave ideas.
I really really love those color choices!
