Hi -

I blocked my wholecloth quilt before putting on the binding, but I want to block it again before mailing it off to the show in the hopes of getting it to hang as straight as possible. I'm worried about the pins leaving holes in the quilt. Before the binding was on, I just put the pins in the outside area of the quilt where the binding would cover up any holes (and I just don't remember if there were any holes to cover up). I know that others block quilts after the binding is on. Do you have any problems with holes showing where you put the pins in? If so, how do you handle this? Do you rub your fingernail over each hole until it disappears? I assume that the best place to put the pins is in the ditch between the binding and the body of the quilt, correct? Any thoughts would be appreciated as I don't want to screw this up!

Thanks!

Nancy
