I was told to reserve also...nope...if there isn't enough border/binding fabric left...I'll use something else, lol.
What I tell the folkls on the TinLizzieLongarm Yahoo Group is that there are as many ways to quilt as there are quilter's. There is no right or wrong way...just do what works for you.
I know a lot of how I make quilts would make the quilt police faint...but I get my quilts done!

Anyone else have 'instructor advice' that you have since learned to ignore?
