Ok.. you can only read this if you promise not to yell at me... :oops:

So... the quilts that I have made with borders.. I am guessing I have done them all wrong. I measure the width I want, and cut the length longer than what I need.. sew it on and trim it even. I normally put the sides on first, than the top and bottom. I am beginning to think (from reading the Board.. keep in mind, I am totally self taught) that this is BAD :thumbdown:

So... is the way I am doing it really THAT bad? Will it make it difficult to be quilted on a LA? I have read about the measuring down or across the center.. and then pinning at both ends and easing the fabric for a good fit? Is this a "do this or it will be REALLY wrong" thing?

Thanks for the comments in advance. :)
