Default Border tip

I am still working on my wallhanging border and I thought I would share a tip that is working really well. I have had to use my walking foot to quilt the little perpendicular lines but I needed the edge fastened down because I want to quilt as close to the edge as possible. I plan on trimming the wallhanging to square it up later. I had safety pins around the edge but I was afraid to quilt close to them. I trimmed the batt so was it just a little past the top and used painters tape to fasten the top edge to the backing fabric. It is keeping the edge really nice and flat even though I have to turn my wallhanging every 2 inches. One edge is trimmed and I will be doing the remaining edge today.
