My mom called me and asked me how to fix my sisters wavy border on her quilt edges... This is what I shared with her...
The sister either cut the fabric on the bias..... and didn't pin her fabric enough.
She didn't use a walking foot...
Or she started her border strip at one end of the quilt and just went for it....
All of the above can be wrong....
What you have to do is measure your quilt at the following points...
Top
Middle
Bottom
Add those measurements and divide that by three.
The final result will be the length of your border strip.
Next fold your quilt into 4ths and fold your border into 4ths and pin your border on to the quilt at 4ths. You might have to ease and stretch your quilt just a bit..
You have to PIN PIN PIN your border to your quilt...
Having done this your quilt border should now be straight.
Also don't forget to remove your pins as you go...
Sewing over pins could cause your needle to break and put your eye out or throw your machine out of time...
You will find two really good and well written tutorials on how to attach your borders... from
Here are some video links from Youtube that you can watch.
