Or otherwise what we longarm quilters call "wavy border"... Every once in awhile as a quilter for hire you will receive a quilt that has a little bit of fullness and you have to work it in as to get no puckers while you quilt.
So I'm working on this friendly little quilt I used the Glide n' Go Tools to help flatten out the fullness while I quilted.
Once I rolled the quilt top I pinned down the border like I normally do...
Then I steamed it really well and did my basting along the edge and my stitch in the ditch to keep everything in place...
I place the Platter tool around my hopping foot...
Then quilted!!! I was concerned that it would push all the fullness to the center of the border, it did not!!! The fullness was laid down and NO Puckers!!!
So then I decided to do a video so you could see how it worked... This is with one of the smaller 5" Circle Tools. I believe it may be my new best friend!!!
