Everyone always says to measure from the middle and use that measurement for the border. That is the only way I DID end with wavy borders. I have found that the wavy border is the result of the edge of the quilt being a different measurement than the center. So if you are trying to " work in" a border that's longer or shorter than the edge you are sewing it to, its going to end up looking like it doesnt fit - and will end up wavy. I always pin the borders on, leaving an inch or two at each end to trim off. I don't have any problems with wavy borders . Just be sure that when you are feeding the fabric as you sew it, you don't put ANY pressure on it -either trying to pull it under the foot of pull it back as it goes under the foot. I hold it very, very loosely and let it go gently under the foot . Should be fine!
