    anytime you are sewing or quilting, and your getting frustrated..Step away from it! you will just either make it worse, or frustrate yourself to no end!
    i find it helps, if i mark or make a note of my original tension settings,so i can beck to my original settings for regular piecing.
    do you have other thickness of threads? you can try something different in the machine.

    You are doing very well. Keep at the quilt making. I agree with pressing it and FMQ.

    Very nice job! I think the puckers will be less noticeable once you iron it and quilt it.

    This is a very nice first quilt. You should be proud of it.

    I find when I sew two pieces of fabric that was cut lengthways of the bolt that my seams pucker a little bit. They aren't so noticable after quilting. I prefer to sew cross grain to the length grain when I can, but can't always do that.

    cool. I think that after it is quilted then washed and dried, the puckers will shrink into the quilt. There are not very many of them. It is really beautiful. Lots of work.
