Try more pins. Try working clockwise then counter clockwise with each line. Try holding all layers together taught/tight from corner to corner as you stitch each side of the square to prevent sliding. I'm surprised it is doing it that much if you are working with a quilting/walking foot. Hopefully some of those suggestions help you. It looks great... I love the straight quilting in the squares!
1. i love your quilt. adorable. 2. when you baste, pin no more than two inches apart. some people also using basting spray and then pin, but i don't love basting spray. 3. if you are serious about quilting, invest in a walking foot. best. invention. ever. it's a foot made for quilting through the three layers. they're not cheap, though (nothing about quilting is really cheap). santa maybe?
I love it too! Very, very nice!

It's going to be a beautiful quilt! My suggestion (not that I quilt!) was already said...a walking foot.:)
ReplyDeleteWhat about using a walking foot so everything is feed evenly through your machine?
