I picked off my borders, measured the quilt center( what I should have done in the first place) chalked a line and pinned the top and bottom of the border to the quilt top. I pinched up the extra quilt top in the center and pinned it the the center border. I then equally distributed the extra quilt top on both sides of the center and put in lots of pins. I sewed with the quilt top on top because the feed dogs would not ease in about 2 inches of extra fabric. I swept the quilt top towards the foot as I sewed with a straight pin just short of making a pleat. Voila, the borders lay perfectly flat now and this is how much I was able to ease using this method.[ATTACH=CONFIG]603309[/ATTACH]
