See if this link is of any help. Do a search on the QB or google for more help:) |
Do you mean how to miter the border or your blocks? I use my degree ruler to miter the strips on my blocks. For the border, I fold the whole quilt on diagonal and extend the extra long border pieces out on a table. If I have more than 1 colour, I pin at each border intersection. I then take my degree ruler and draw the sewing line on the wrond side of the borders. I then stitch the border corner with big stitches on my machine (easy to remove). I open it up and make sure it is perfect, if it is, I restitch with regular sewing line. Then I trim the excess down to a 1/4 in. seam.

Good tutorials
|
I have developed my own quick method and have taught it a few times. It has made mitering borders as easy as straight borders. I can match stripes at the corners and it works well every time. I haven't done a tutorial yet, but if interest I might take time and do that.

Mine is for mitering borders. I think I've done some pictures along the way and will look for them yet today. Right now I'm leaving for Shisphewana for the auction and of course, the fabric stores. :)

I think you should do a tutorial. would love to see your method.

Add me to the interested group--I'm always happy to learn new methods and I love written tutorials! (I have trouble with the You-tube ones because of my slow internet connection--I spend more time waiting than viewing.)

The pictures I had taken a while back don't explain quite like I would like to do, so the first of next week I'll put something together and post. I have been using this method for about 4 years and love doing miters and especially miters with stripes that match in the corners.
