I'm running low on fabric and I don't have much cash to go to the store but I do have a brown and red polka dot fabric and white, so I'm gunna use that as the border. I just need to quilt it now and it will be done. I don't feel like I have enough room though, my sewing machine is basic so the arm is short,and tips on how to keep it from getting to much in my way when I am quilting a section?
