Thanks for the suggestion- I've not heard this one, but sounds very promising!!! I'm about to unsew the borders and will try it!!
Fingers crossed!

I cut my boarders longer than I need.... pin a lot!!!, then sew, iron, lay flat and trim to quilt....... no measurements really

Sounds like you need to starch and press. I seem to never have that problem and I think it is because I starch every single piece of fabric before cutting.

I've had some success with matching the border to the quilt at a corner, then pressing the border on top of the quilt and pinning before sewing.

And average the numbers if they are different.

this is the way I do it. and it works good for me.

I measure in 3 places and then pin in 1/4's so if I need to stretch a little it is even along each edge.
