I was told by my longarmer....eons ago when I first started that the quilts needed to be "squared up" by the borders.....I measure through the middle and that's what I cut my borders at, I then find the middle and the quarters of my border and my quilt, pin at those points and sew from the middle out on each border....by the end borders my quilt is straight and true and the longarmer likes me because she isn't worried about a PLEAT in the quilt!!
