And have gone back to doing my borders only with WOF, and joining on the bias .... no problems!!
Me too! If I cut LOF for strips or borders I get waves. I got this tip from a national best in show quilter many years ago when I complimented her many pieced borders. She also said she used straight cut double binding on all her quilts unless curved. If you have been to Paducah quilt show you know the winners are usually sitting by their quilts. I wait until there is no one around them (long wait) but worth it when you can talk one on one with specific but short questions and not a crowd to ask them why and what for. LOL
