measuring for border question
I'm working on a top that is set on point (my first). I measured for the side borders and took the center measurement as the right size and put on the borders. There were a couple of spots where the bias edges on the setting triangles stretched a little bit. Generally speaking it went well though. Then, I measured for the other set (at the center as well) of borders and cut them. They don't fit. They are about an inch too long. I double checked the measurements and they are correct.
Since I had a little trouble with the triangles stretching, I stay stitched the remaining edges about 1/8" from the edge. I don't think it will stretch to fit he binding now that I've done that. (I did the stay stitching before I started to pin on the border and discovered the problem.) I'm not sure if I should try to fit the border to the top or the top to the border.
Suggestions?
