Just a suggestion. If you put the side with the excess fabric down , you can use the feed dogs to ease in the fabric.it is still a slow process. Thank you for your share of you border technique.
It is worth remembering that the strips you use to frame blocks or motifs within the quilt are also borders!! And need to be measured and matched just the same way you demonstrate with actual borders.
I am a newbie to quilting and need all the help I can get😄.. when I get to the point of making a large quilt it is good to know how not to tick off my long arm-er 😉
This is what I do but my borders are still wavy on the outer edge which would happen because the border is larger than the quilt side. I noticed that your border is wavy on the outside edge. Is there a way to square the quilt before adding a border so that the border lays flat?
Suzanne, I would first press my border. Spray with either starch, best press, a quilting spray, flatter, or just plain water, and let the pressing help "shrink" the fabric a bit. Pressing is so very important to quilting. Not ironing, but pressing. Pressing is where you put the iron down, lift it straight up, and move to your next spot and repeat. You can "stretch" your borders by "ironing" and not pressing. Let me know if this helps! You got this! The next border will be better!
It really depends on the look that you like. I do like my top of the quilt border to be without seams. So, I tend to put on the sides, then the top and bottom. But again, think about the final look. Thank you for watching our video!!
I don’t even know how to make that mistake and I don’t want to know. 🤪🤪😀😃 Why wouldn’t you cut your border strip longer than the top or side of your quilt?

I have quilted for around 30 years. Thanks for the refresher on borders.
Thank u for sharing…I have never done my borders this way…I will start today for sure.❤
I would be tempted to take it apart for her and do it correctly
We made it look great! She loved it.
Cathy, You are the best, always looking out for your customers!!

That is another good option
I was going to say the same thing.
@@Quiltlady9 another good option, but sometimes there is more that needs to be eased in.
😮❤Thanks for a TERRIFIC demonstration!❤
Thank you!

Do you sew your borders on the top and on the bottom first or on the sides first and then on the top in the bottom.?

But how much is too much to try and ease in?
To where you get folds no matter how slow you go. You do not want to stretch the shorter fabric.
How did you end up quilting the quilt? 😮
I ended up folding over a pleat and matching up then fabrics in the border. It looked better than I thought. Thank you for asking.
❤😂
I've had to do the same, with several, and was just wondering.
Love the videos! Keep them coming!
Thank you for watching!
