Need to know what way is better when adding boarders. Do you join the pieces straight or bais cut? I just told that bais can distort you quilt by causing ripples.

I do thinner borders with a bias cut -- wider borders straight.

I make all of my borders straight.

i do straight

I like bias, however, after 6" it does start to distort and alot of fabric waste so then I do straight. I do either one or the other for the whole quilt. I'm too anal to have bias and straight in the same quilt.

I always do bias unless I am matching stripes. I don't do borders larger then 6" so I haven't gotten any distortion. Do remember to lock your stitches that will be on the outside of your quilt so they don't come apart during the quilting process.

Same here!

I do wide boarders straight and narrow on bias...has worked for me.

Straight, cut lengthwise along the selvage.

I always cut width of fabric. Even then there is an occassional stretching
