I had planned on two borders--and mapped it out on EQ6, but decided I didn't want it bigger. The binding will be scrappy of the dark fabrics.

Hi, I read your above message and just wondered if your machine may be causing the problem. I, too, had this problem when someone suggested checking the feed-dogs. Sure enough they had worn to the point where they had to be raised a little. Solved my problem.

I ironed all seams as they were sewed, but forgot to press the last one. :roll:
