you mean keep the border fabric ON TOP of the quilt when sewing it on?
Yea, I did not understand this one either. What are you talking about? Can you explain in more detail??
Wavy borders are due to poor measuring; not sewing IMO.
I never measure. Never. I do pin the borders on from the center out and I always sew with the border on top. My quilts start out squarer to start with since I don't sew my blocks into big long rows. I have measured in the past and found less than an eighth of an inch variation from the center to the sides.
