    You're right, Peggi. You can see it very easily in the first pic.

    I misunderstood - sorry. Here's what I would do - Make your borders A & B by machine, leaving the ends like a mitred corner (indicated by blue lines), add a 1/4 size triangle C to A section as shown, then join the 2nd border (red line) - easy.

    I hope you can find a good solution; I am no help at all. Let us see what you decide to do when you are finished.

    Right it is three seams, this is a border I paper pieced and I am sick of the hand sewing Trying to figure out how to do it best on a machine
