- wo...This video was one of your best in regard to:<br />- working a border approximately no more than four inches at a time<br />- a long visual of the direction in which the stitching proceeds<br />- basic spiral is a great design to teach clockwise and counter clockwise movement and how to fill in the odd spaces evenly<br />- speeding up to show more and more traveling over the larger space is such a great learning toollivyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345052081192061567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-55754814434799266802010-10-03T12:43:56.069-04:002010-10-03T12:43:56.069-04:00Hi Susan - Yes, I've also tried basting around...Hi Susan - Yes, I've also tried basting around the outer edge of the border, but because I quilt fairly densely this can cause more pleating issues rather than less.<br /><br />I've just found that simply cutting the border wider makes this area much easier to quilt. I mark a line for where the border will be trimmed to and simply quilt beyond this line a bit to make the filler continuous.<br /><br />After the quilt is finished, I block it, then trim the edges down. While it is an extra step to remember to cut the borders wider in the piecing process, it certainly makes this area easier to handle in the quilting process!<br /><br />Let's go quilt,<br /><br />Leah DayLeahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03674869334249298532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-61893520533878121602010-10-03T09:22:34.691-04:002010-10-03T09:22:34.691-04:00When I read this:

The point is to get them quilted and finished so they can be used!"<br /><br />the thought that came to my mind was "I love you." :-)<br /><br />Thank you for your positive encouragement. I'm slowly working my way toward finishing my pieced tops and turning them into quilts and then making some more! Keep up the great blog and reminders on FB. I'm lovin' it (and need it)!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-66229151363908930062010-10-02T18:56:20.883-04:002010-10-02T18:56:20.883-04:00You mention in your Section Quilting Part 5 video ...You mention in your Section Quilting Part 5 video that you have trouble with the border areas sometimes because they want to pleat or pull in. Do you ever baste along the outer edges before quilting the borders? I do that with quilts on my longarm to keep things stable.Andihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16934512262976023865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-83892870765976922682010-10-02T14:15:41.713-04:002010-10-02T14:15:41.713-04:00Very nice quilting!Very nice quilting!Kay Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13823005259250445765noreply@blogger.com
