I always sew a scant 1/4 inch around a quilt before I put the binding on for sure, but on a bias edge quilt stitching before borders would be a must. Using a very light weight fusible interfacing cut in narrow strips might work even better.<br /><br />I love your color sense and productivity.

When you mentioned it originally, I had envisioned something a lot more flowery, with a lot more movement than the one you auditioned, and I thought that would be too much. But what I saw yesterday looked very nice. How could I even imagine you wouldn't know best?Charlottahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03654576015036728600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-34141227194706881002015-10-30T21:17:00.025-05:002015-10-30T21:17:00.025-05:00It's beautiful!

Then stay-stitch in the seam allowance right through the freezer paper. Stabilize the fabric with a ruler butted up against the stay-stitching line while carefully tearing away the paper. Might work.<br />Keep on quiltin'<br />Carol cwoosley12@yahoo.comBees Knees Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09018513406059803134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-65904293610530156952015-10-30T08:50:34.601-05:002015-10-30T08:50:34.601-05:00I have seen in the past that you do stay stitching...I have seen in the past that you do stay stitching to stabilize a bias edge, would you do that before adding the border? I like to add a design element of a piping strip, which also helps to stay a bias edge, as a bonus.
