A
way to make your quilt edge's be the exact size they should be,
is to cut twill tape the exact size. Mark the center and quarter
marks on the twill tape. Pin the twill to the edge of the quilt
top at the five markings. Sew them together, stretching slightly
or easing the top as you go....Submitted by Rose |

Always
use the length of the fabric, not the width for your border strips.
Make a slit lengthwise, one inch in away from the selvage. Tear
the fabric, instead of cutting it the entire length.
Then make another cut the width of the border you want and tear
again. This assures that it goes along the grain line. Press the
border strip before sewing. It won't stretch or warp when sewn.
Measure and sew as usual...Submitted by Jo |
