Bah! I knew I should have pinned my border!!!

i was sewing my border on my quilt and got done and went to iron and it was all wonky and puckered. I thought about pinning it first but thought naw i can do it. So I spent the evening with the stitch ripper! No more shortcuts lol. Do ya'll always pin before sewing?

I tend to overpin. I can see my not-perfect seams staring at me

I started off pinning, but kept forgetting about taking the pins out as I fed the material through the machine. After suffering a fairly deep stab wound I decided not to pin anymore. I don't want to bleed on my quilts.

If it's 6" or more then I'm usually gonna pin it...that frog stitchin' really spoils my fun. With borders, I find the middles,pinch and pin...then pin each end...then repeat finding the middles of each of those sections,pinch and pin again...however many times it takes to make the body fit the border. Hope that makes sense...I may not have explained it very well...
