It was a mess to make, and I washed in my old school washer 3 times to get the amount of fringing I wanted. It was much lighter and more huggable that one made thicker. I gave it to my niece so I am not sure how well it has held up through time. Back then I said I would never make another one...but now I think I would try it again if I had a good reason too.

I tried the pinning and I seemed to have gotten more out puckers that way. I seem to really have problem after I go past the center notch. The bottom piece just doesn't want to behave. I almost need a third hand. I was hesitant about the curvemaster foot since I can sew the drunkards path easily. maybe I will save my pennies and give it a try...LoriLouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01471551603054146734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5151486983887738599.post-21986780297359979922012-02-28T06:17:34.118-08:002012-02-28T06:17:34.118-08:00Don't give up....I only pin the where the midd...Don't give up....I only pin the where the middle marker is...do give it some times, you will come up with your own way of doing it.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06622919657309096651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5151486983887738599.post-24629974227449856172012-02-28T05:02:38.153-08:002012-02-28T05:02:38.153-08:00I've done several videos on sewing curves, inc...I've done several videos on sewing curves, including the apple core.

I personally am not very impressed with rag quilts but I have a couple baby sized ones in a local boutique and the adults go crazy for them. They keep saying that they would love one for themselves. Not sure if I want to make them again though. Maybe out of cotton they might be easier to cut on the die.Robin (RsIslandCrafts)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06875986169322073281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5151486983887738599.post-78697452074609580542012-02-28T04:10:19.223-08:002012-02-28T04:10:19.223-08:00When I sewed my first set of apple core pieces (cu...When I sewed my first set of apple core pieces (cut with my Go)I had tucks and waves too. Then I started pinning the pieces and that helped alot. I think using some starch would help also. <br /><br />I agree with Coral. Make it into a table topper or runner. If it isn't perfect then you won't worry if something gets spilled on it. Plus, as a table topper you can place a plant on it and then maybe you won't notice any wonkines :)Robin (RsIslandCrafts)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06875986169322073281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5151486983887738599.post-76233038020928739292012-02-28T02:06:11.884-08:002012-02-28T02:06:11.884-08:00Keep going!
