I, too, am on the side of the fence for measuring then cutting borders. Then I find the center of the side I am working and mark it with a pin. Do the same with the border. If it is a large quilt I will also mark the quarters of the quilt and the border. Match the pins and pin the border to the quilt. More detailed instructions are also available on our website shown below. Hope you have great looking borders whichever method you choose.
