Re: Border help please
Yes, you can cut your borders from the length of the fabric. Many people do it this way so they don't have to piece their borders.K is for Karen 😊​ Albuquerque, NM..................

Re: Border help please
Thanks for your help and suggestions. Great! I can go on as I hoped. This will be the largest quilt I have made so far. My local quilt shop has a long arm that can be used for $25 an hour but you have to take a lesson first which is $50. You have to provide your own quilt etc. is that too steep?Peggy:icon_hug:

Re: Border help please
I just read on a site the other day that it was better to use the length of fabric as opposed to the width for borders because it is less stretchy. There is more of a chance of stretching the fabric which could result in the quilt not laying flat after they are attached. I've always cut my cloth WOF and haven't had a problem, for what it's worth.

Re: Border help please
Forgot to mention, I over cut my border length, then lay two of them down the center of the top, smooth but not stretched and cut them. Then after sewing them down the sides and pressing, I lay two strips across the center, smooth, not stretched, and cut them. I learned this method from Bonnie over at Quiltville.
