I'm glad I found this post as I am about to attach a French Braid border onto a lap quilt for my grand daughter's 18th birthday (which was yesterday) and I' trying to figure out how to do it. I have a narrow inner border sewn on. I'm tempted to try attaching it using QAYG technique- that way I can always rip it out and do plain border if too frustrated. Do you think it would work? I'd be willing to take advantage of ALL your tips here to avoid stretching. It will be my first braid border and must get it done this weekend.
