So glad I watched your Video before I started cutting my borders & sewing them onto my Quilt! You sure saved me, Thank you So Much! I Learned a Lot! ♥️🌹🙏☀️🌈☀️
21:50 I just watched your video and it was great. I have a problem. I did not cut my borders the long way, I cut my borders the other way. How can I see the seams together so they will look right now? Any suggestions are appreciated!
Thank you I just subscribed to your channel. Learned a few things also can you do a tutorial on bindings I usually go to a website and put in the width and length and that’s the amount of strips I cut . Thanks
It is worth noting that *any* time you sew strips to frame blocks or motifs, you must match the lengths of opposite sides of those strips as well. Medallion quilts are essentially a series of borders and unless you use this process as you go, they will end up full of bubbles and ruffles.
Thank you so much for your advice and video. I found it when I was about to put strips on my quilt and new I needed some help to keep it square. Thanks so much for your help. Please keep posting 😊
Yes, it’s a little thing my seventh grade home economics teacher taught me to do and I haven’t broken the habit yet. You do have to be very careful, go slowly and you have to know your machine can handle it. I know there are some brands that if you hit a pin, it has to go to the repair person.
I like to cut my borders length of fabric so I don’t have seams. But if I have seams, I usually put them toward the lower end of the quilt. There isn’t a real reason for that, it’s just my personal preference.
Most of the time I use it to get wrinkles out and the bolt fold before I cut the fabric. I have used it to stabilize fabric when I’m going to be cutting on the diagonal. If you spray small pieces with best press spray it’s easy to get them distorted, so I try and stay away from that.
I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking. You want to measure the length of your quilt, cut both side borders to that measurement, pin them on, sew them on and then press toward the borders. Then measure the width of the quilt including the side borders you just sewed on, cut the top and bottom borders to that measurement, pin them on, sew them on and press toward the borders. You don’t want to just sew on borders without cutting them to the right length and then trim them off. If you do, your quilt will stretch as you sew and your borders will be wavy. They won’t lay flat and smooth. Does this help?

Ate you sewing over the pins?
Yes, it’s a little thing my seventh grade home economics teacher taught me to do and I haven’t broken the habit yet. You do have to be very careful, go slowly and you have to know your machine can handle it. I know there are some brands that if you hit a pin, it has to go to the repair person.
Do you alter where the seam line is on the opposite of the borders?
I like to cut my borders length of fabric so I don’t have seams. But if I have seams, I usually put them toward the lower end of the quilt. There isn’t a real reason for that, it’s just my personal preference.
I am very interested in the gold, green, orange and brown quilt behind you, could you please direct me to the pattern?
The pattern is called Terrazzo. It’s fun to make and uses color values to make it look dimensional. I have a class for it on my Podia channel.
When do you use best press?
Most of the time I use it to get wrinkles out and the bolt fold before I cut the fabric. I have used it to stabilize fabric when I’m going to be cutting on the diagonal. If you spray small pieces with best press spray it’s easy to get them distorted, so I try and stay away from that.
For beginners would you recommend sewing on top to bottom..then measure and cut the bottom just to be on the safe side?😂
I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking. You want to measure the length of your quilt, cut both side borders to that measurement, pin them on, sew them on and then press toward the borders. Then measure the width of the quilt including the side borders you just sewed on, cut the top and bottom borders to that measurement, pin them on, sew them on and press toward the borders.
