When DH saw it he said he didn't notice the waves!!!! Bless him - they look awful. After careful consideration I think there is too much fullness in the pieced borders. I had to slightly shorten the top/bottom borders when I applied them, but the sides seemed ok. It turns out they were not - I should have listened to my intuition.
I've had the edges wave this badly once before and the only way to improve it was to remove the binding and reapply it quite tautly to ease in some of the fullness. I apply my binding by machine stitched zig-zag so there is a lot of unpicking to do. Boo hoo :(
Just wondering if washing and drying might help, it doesn't look very wavy in the picture. I feel your pain, and am quite scared of sewing mine on. It is quite gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Candace. Washing and drying will sometimes get it to lay flat. I would hate to see you do all that work of unbinding it!
