Easiest Way to Square Up a Quilt
I got my quilt back from the LAQ and now need to sew on binding. However, I need to square up my quilt a bit.
What's the easiest way to square up a quilt?
Thanks!

I use my large square rulers and my cutting board underneath. I am intrigued by the new quilter's chalk line that uses the iron away powder. I am thinking of trying a regular carpenters chalk line with the white powder the next time I square up a quilt. Since I will be cutting along the snapped line it shouldn't matter if it is permanent or not because the binding will cover it.

When I take my quilts to a different store that doesn't square them up for me, I do this very same thing. This is how my LQS owner squares up my quilts for me, too.
