Quilt backing
#21
I hand quilt, and I have been using 80/20 Hobbs. Has anyone used the fusible batting and then hand quilt it? Any difference in the needling between the two?? I use a 14 or 16 inch pvc lap frame, and the only time I get wrinkles is when the backing is a looser weave than the top, but I manage to ease it in some places. Lots of times I have better backing, and there isn't any problems for me. Good luck in finding out the problem. Are you machine quilting? Or hand quilting?
When hand quilting, I smooth out the backing with the grain of fabric as I stitch, not on the diagonal. This has helped to ease any wrinkles away. Pulling on the diagonal is just asking for trouble!

That's why I like my floor frame that adjusts to the full size of the quilt. I can stretch my backing out flat and layer on the batting and top with no basting needed. Back comes out flat each time. Here is where I posted pictures.
