Hello... I have made a few quilts with satin ruffles. The little girls just love the satin ruffles
my question is... has anyone else put ruffles on their quilts? I would like to compare notes on how you do yours....just wondering if there is a better way than how I am doing it now
What I am doing is I make the long ruffle. I use the birthing method and pin the layers together with the ruffle inside. Then when I turn the quilt right side out I sew about 1/8" from the edge to help flatten it out
The ruffle lays nice and looks nice this way.... but sometimes its hard to get the quilt to "behave" for quilting. Like the layers don't want to lay flat and they don't seem even. I have been told by long arm quilter they will not quilt a birthed quilt.
any thoughts?
Thanks
Teresa
