Flange
#1
My mom-in-law told me about this on Friday and I looked it up and decided I wanted to try it on the project I'm working on now. Just out of curiosity, do a lot of you add this accent to your quilt tops, and if you do, do you have pictures of how it came out??

I've done that on my tote bags. It might make it more complicated for a Longarmer. But it would be cool!

Not sure what you mean... :?
I'm guessing you mean an extra border?
Ahhhhh, thanks Dee. LOL, I was at first wondering if I was on a plumbing board all of a sudden. ;-)

I was told to sew it on with a 1/8" seam allowance so that when you sew down the next border with a 1/4" seam allowance, it would cover the previous stitching. Think of it as a basting seam just to hold it in place.
And it does make a nice framing border but, if you are taking it to a long arm quilter, ask first if they will have trouble with a flange border.
