Thanks, Arlene,
I tried this last night and have 2 sides on at the moment, using this technique. It "appears" be be better, although not perfect. Tonight, I'll be adding the second two borders, which will be the test of the pudding! Thanks for your ideas! |
Thanks for your suggestion. I may try that if my current efforts fail (again)!
|
Yep, I agree. I always cut using lengthwise grain if it is possible to do so.
Thank you |
THANKS KATIER FOR THE INFO. I ALSO HAVE WAVY BORDERS EVEN THOUGH I MEASURE WITH A TAPE AND I THINK THIS MAY SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
|
I agree with katier, awesome tip

Check your tension and pressure on the machine. You may need to replace your feed dogs if you do a lot of sewing. I sew for a living and I have to replace my feed dogs every 2 years.

I took several quilting classes from the same instructor and she stated to keep from getting the wavy borders is to sew one side top to bottom and the other side bottom to top and then the top border from left to right and the bottom border right to left. I tried this and it worked and I have been doing my borders this way ever since.

Great tip! Thanks! I think it makes perfect sense!!
|
Great suggestion! Thanks!!
|
You're the second person that suggested checking the tension, and the first to mention the feed dogs. I had no idea they ever
needed changing. Thanks so much! |
