Excellent Anne. I'm still wracking my brains as what to quilt on that for you. It'll come to me, when I can sit here looking at it as the creases fall out nicely.
@judyzeigler3980 thanks alot Judy. It does take more attention that many realise. I love little simple fixes like the water spritzer, as there's no cost and much less effort than ironing. Winner/winner
Thank you so much for this video, I have a quilt top just about ready to go to a long armer and now I will make sure I ask her preferences for the back fabric before I get it ready. You pointed out considerations that I would not have thought about as a first timer.
@michele9657 fab! That's what I love about sharing things- someone will aways benefit. Sorry about my strict 'teacher voice ' but I do take it seriously and it can really help others focus to make a benefit in their patchwork
I found it easier to load the back, roll it forward as it will be when done, then steam iron the width of the machine, roll back and repeat until the fabric is in beginning position. Don't let the weight of the iron down on the fabric of course but it's much easier than trying to iron extremely wide fabric on an ironing board. Sprizing and letting it hang overnight wouldn't work for me.
@fondasarff9701 Yes, indeed, that's another option. It's great to see the different ways people do things that work for them. As long as we're feeling good about our craft and achieving the results we want (and my clients in this case) all's good. I bring the iron out more for the quilt top if needs be, to help ease in any slackness
Thanks Diane - useful information. I've got my Postcards from Sweden quilt ready to come you and I'll now be checking the backing in advance.

Very interesting lot of work for sure. I consider you very talented to be able to mess with that. Thank you for sharing.😊
