Tip for Making Very Narrow Border or Sashing
I had cut my yellow border strip at 1.5", but decided that a 1/4" yellow border looked much better and was trying to figure out how to cut it down or lay the next border far enough away from the edge to bring it down to the 1/4". That's when a lightbulb came on and I decided to sew a placing line 1/2" from the inner edge (1st photo), lay my next border against it and sew a 1/4" seam. This would work even if you wanted a 1/8" highlighting strip because you don't need to deal with very narrow strips of fabric.
