I was making a panel Christmas quilt for my dgd and accidentally cut off one border around
the center.
I had more border fabric but just sewing it on would make the bottom thinner than the other
three sides by 1/4".
I put some interfacing under the panel and appliqued the new strip of border by butting
fabrics together.
It eliminated
shortening it by 1/4" (the amount I cut off), and came out perfect.
I did an embroidery stitch over all four to match and went right over the place where the
panel ended and the new strip started. I was pleased with my fix.
(It is kind of like raw edged applique but should last a long time with those
stitches.)
