The Swe...Rebecca, maybe your backing was too tight!<br />The Sweet 16 is a stationary domestic with a huge throat area, exactly as you described. Also called a "sit down" machine; don't have to stand to guide those handles.<br /><br />The plaid in the ribbon really helped me line it up as I sewed it on, making tiny adjustments as I went. And this was after I carefully ironed it in half along its lenght. Lots of pins helped too--there was no other technique. I have to admit, this is the best it's ever turned out for me, and I've tried it lots of times!allie allerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13158390991360498378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016674207999094300.post-10839662545610389262013-09-05T17:01:43.875-07:002013-09-05T17:01:43.875-07:00Oh, Man -- this really puts MY baby quilts to sham...Oh, Man -- this really puts MY baby quilts to shame! I LOVE how you've combined old and new with this quilt. What a lucky baby!<br /><br />I have tried taping down my backing when I layer and baste, but I seem to have issues with pleats and puckers on the back side no matter what I do. One theory is that I may be pulling the backing TOO tight when I tape it down, stretching it or something? Who knows. <br /><br />Question about the Sweet 16 -- Is it just like a stationary domestic straight stitch machine with a huge throat area, or is it more like a long arm that I see at the quilt shows, on a frame, that you operate with handles standing up?<br /><br />Also, the ribbon binding looks fabulous, but how on Earth did you sew it down in one pass and have the zigzag stitch placed so precisely on the front and back of the quilt? Did you use some kind of binder attachment, or did you pin it or glue baste it or use some other stitch trickery?Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016674207999094300.post-38232115645793174512013-09-05T16:29:05.024-07:002013-09-05T16:29:05.024-07:00How wonderful Allie.
