She said the wrinkles come out like magic.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18296050573667055406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580018827658637851.post-18551527351378257082009-12-04T07:16:50.640-05:002009-12-04T07:16:50.640-05:00Sorry!

It wasn't that I was going on vacation - I was trying to get the quilt to Sharon so she could take it up to you, so I wouldn't have to pay postage to mail it to you! I'm not sure I remember ever squaring up a backing or trimming selvages... Didn't know. I'll pay you extra somehow - you will have earned it dealing with that thing!Jenny Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14127531465214063983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580018827658637851.post-55022763038219070562009-12-03T23:13:48.715-05:002009-12-03T23:13:48.715-05:00Hi, Bonnie.

Load the bottom end, and then use a spray mister of water to slightly dampen the back, smoothing out any wrinkles as you roll it up. You can repeat the steps for a really "un-square" back, and roll it onto the take-up roller, then back on the bottom roller. I never press a back anymore, unless it's the edges or a center seam. I no longer cut off my selvages unless they have puckered with pre-washing in Retayne. Remember, though, I'm not a pro.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12449351458689631173noreply@blogger.com
