Help please with quilt sandwich
Hello, I just finished pin basting my first quilt. Once I was done, I noticed that along a portion of my border, there is only about 1" of overlap for my batting in that one section. I am really nervous about leaving such a small overage, especially since I've never quilted before. I think you are supposed to have at least 2-4" of extra from your quilt top. I will be quilting this on my sewing machine and will be doing straight line quilting. Should I try to sew some additional batting to this section of the quilt sandwich before I start to quilt? Do I just sew the extra piece of batting with a zig zag stitch, or should I just leave the extra 1" of batting and hope that it doesn't pull too much? Again its on one of the borders and is approximately 18" long where I would need to add a piece. Any suggestions on what I should do would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
