I am getting ready to add the borders to my first project. I am confused as to how to do it. I have read that I should measure the middle from side-to-side, cut the border and attach to top and bottom. Measure from top-to-bottom down the middle, cut and attach to sides.
First, what happens if the edges are not the same as the middle measurement? If the center is larger, do I ease in fullness? What if the measurement is smaller than edges?
I know that you are supposed to cut the borders before adding, but why? It sounds so much more logical to attach and then cut.
