I cut my border strips the same way I cut block strips but when I sandwich my quilt the borders are wavy in spots. How do I fix this?
Thank you, Marilee

I always did it that way-sew on a longer piece and trim. Never had a wavy border. Then I read that it's not the right way so I switched. I figure with my luck, the next time I did it the old way I'd have a wavy border.
Are you supposed to keep the border fabric on the bottom?
Do you sew them on with the border fabric on top? The feed dogs will feed the bottom fabric every so slightly faster. When that happens you'll get waves.
