I am hand quilting a quilt that is approx 70 x 84. I am using a Grace EZ3 frame. I have now arrived at the end of the quilt and my backing is about 1/4" too short! I am not sure what happened, as I was sure I made my backing w/ extra room for shrinkage, but I have had many problems along the way w/this quilt and this frame, not happy w/the frame at all. But any way, what do I do about my shortage? Should I just trim the top when I take it out of the frame and not worry about it, or should I just make my binding a bit wider and cover the back w/that? If that makes sense.
BTW, I am so painfully slow at quilting that it has taken me 2 years to reach this point
!!! But I am thrilled to pieces that I have made it to the end!!!
Thanks!
