I've never had a quilt top pucker on me, backs yes, but not the top. I'm not sure if it was something I did (not baste enough, didn't make a flat top to begin with, etc) or if it was the peppered cotton. The top only had a few pieces of peppered cotton (it was mostly Kona, with a few randoms), and the borders were peppered cotton, but the places it puckered or poufed were the peppered spots.... The one thing I didn't do was starch, so that would be my advice. Starch! Oh, and I've never had that problem with Kaffe shots, and I use those in nearly everything these days.

And I'm terrified when cutting my fabric that Im going to cut too much off a FQ or something and then not have enough for a strip!!<br /><br />I have some Kaffe Shot Cottons but they're not really shot-cottony. They look more like solids compared to the Peppered cottons or Oakshotts; I was hoping for something that had that other colour through a bit more :(Joanna @ Riddle and {Whimsy}https://www.blogger.com/profile/07850057317926321586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722669456248196153.post-14822735055164741872014-07-13T07:44:38.013-07:002014-07-13T07:44:38.013-07:00Shot cottons are super addicting.
