A Quilting Tip - Preventing 'Waviness" in Borders

One of the most often 'issues' we encounter when doing machine quilting is the "Wavy Border Syndrome". To prevent waviness or fullness in your quilt borders, follow this tip. When measuring for the borders of your quilt, always measure from the center of your quilt across from side-t0-side and from top-to-bottom, not along the outside edges. Cut your border pieces this measurement and then ease any difference into the quilt when sewing on the borders.
