Remember that when sewing to a bias edge, to always put the bias strip on the bottom to sew, so the "extra" is taken up automatically. Also, you can draw or baste (if you baste, sew from top to bottom, then stitch the border bottom to top, also helps) along the cut line, stich the border on, then trim to help tame bias edges.
