Hi, Welcome to this board, Watkins Glen is not far from me although i live in Pa. just South of Binghamton. You can purchase a roll of paper with a border design on it that you lay on the quilt (it is sticky on the back) an quilt thru that. I have used it a couple of times to machine quilt the border and it worked well. A friend of mine frequently comes to the quilt shop in your town. marge
