To remove lines from those Clover pens, I keep a spray bottle with water in it in my sewing room and just mist the surface of the quilt--works great! I air dry at that point then continue on as normal.<br />Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06425977539640711969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027731275129684828.post-36212774662650217552017-01-17T20:57:55.810+11:002017-01-17T20:57:55.810+11:00This is beautiful, Rita.

I...Hi Alice and Serena - thank you for stopping by! I attached the binding after washing so that I could square up a quilt that had been washed and tumble dried ~ removing any uneven shrinkage, if there was any. As it turns out the quilt came out of the dryer without significant shrinkage (not that I measured the quilt before and after) and squaring up the quilt was relatively simple. I hope that makes sense.

Does it help to make the binding lay more flat?

Question, though: Why did you wait until after it was washed and dried to put the binding on?
