More testing -

 

 

After I loaded the backing - 

 

And basted down the batting - 

 

For my Happy Trails - 

 

 

I tested the tension on a scrap - 

 

At the top left corner - 

 

So that it was easy to unzip to check the back side - 

 

I fiddled a little - 

 

And liked the setting - 

 

That gave me the last vertical line on the right - 

 

No GREEN "pokies" from the bottom - 

 

And no WHITE "pokies" from the top - 

 

So tomorrow I'll baste down the top - 

 

And continue on - 

 

In case you're wondering why I loaded the batting off-center - 

 

There is a flaw in the backing fabric on the lower left side - 

I had already attached the zippers - 

And didn't want to redo them - 

So I scooted the whole thing over to the right-hand side to avoid the flaw - 

 

You'll laugh - 

 

With all of my attention lately on getting good "tension" - 

 

I forgot that I have to decide WHAT design I want to quilt - 

 

So I'll add that to my "to do" list tomorrow - ;))

 

 

 

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
