I do not know why the picture does not show, because it was there when I clicked submit, now it's just a x.

So pretty, reminds me of the ones in a quilting book; has a victorian flavor. Glad you showed this.

Beautiful! I saw your question on the Public board... puckering? I don't see it and I even clicked on your picture to see the larger version of the cushion.

Omit the material? Oh no! Those are applique designs and you must use fabric!

You said you ironed it and then it puckered. I've done that, too. The iron was too hot for the thread. Polyester or Rayon, both will sort of melt under too hot of an iron.

Hope my response helps for future reference.

But its still beautiful and you did a marvelous job!

Hugs,
Liz

No I had material under the pieces and if you look at the waterlily you can see the material puckered above and under the design. I had 2 layers of tearaway and the material in the hoop before I put the pieces down.

Its barely noticeable, Babsie. Its the flaws in the things we make that make them so precious. Nothing is supposed to be perfect.
by babsie 27 Jan 2012
Thanks I just wondered if there is a way to not get it.

Beautiful. I drool over these designs every time I go to her site. Your colors are great. Did you press from the back and use a pressing cloth?
2 comments
by babsie 27 Jan 2012
Yes I did and the strange thing is the backing material I put the pieces on did NOT pucker! That is why I wonder if I must only make it on tearaway.
by jofrog2000 28 Jan 2012
Hm, perhaps a very light iron-on stabilizer (like we put on the back of a finished design in shirts) that will stabilize those pieces. And that is just a ripple in the water!

This is beautiful work, you've chosen some lovely colour combinations. I think you're being far too hard on yourself about the puckering. You are surely a perfectionist!!!!

Lovely cushion .Maybe it puckered because the waterlily is a lot denser & larger than the other designs.On my machine sometimes I have to loosen the tension on some designs or the fabric has puckers around the design when removed from hoop & the stabilizer is ripped away

Your cushion looks beautiful. I made these same crazy blocks from mm but I didn't use the extra piece of fabric under mine. I think they look great, you should be very proud of it because I know how much work you put into this!!!!

I bought 1 to 5 set 1 on special and then set 2 1 - 5. If you buy all of them it is cheeper, but I saw that after I got the first set.
