If you quilt the stretched triangles, such as heavily stippling them it will draw them in too.....go on you can do it!!!!.....how's the new machine??.......hope you keep at your quilt and get it finished.....Shiralee Stitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00570503718978186613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-224927874660046464.post-16547009654525920132012-05-28T17:17:15.963+10:002012-05-28T17:17:15.963+10:00G'day Trish.

When I first read your post, I too, thought it might have been the borders not being measured and cut to size that caused your problem, but I also know that the triangles are prone to stretch easily. It happened to me some years ago with setting triangles that I had used. The lady who was quilting the top for me assured me she could quilt it out, but I ended up unpicking the two triangles that had stretched and replacing them.Good luck. I hope you can find a solution. Take care.

I have no idea how to unstretch bias... I hope you get some good ideas... I would probably try a little bit of gentle gathering and then put in one of those peeper strips to hide it if needed ... but that is purely a guess...<br />HugzFionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10497477051026460440noreply@blogger.com
