🧵 TUESDAY TIPS 🧵 Adding Borders That Lay Flat (Not Wavy!) 📏
Wavy, rippling borders are one of the most common quilting frustrations — but the fix is easier than you think. Here's how the pros keep borders flat every time:

📐 Measure through the center, not the edges. Lay your quilt top flat on a large, clean surface. Measure through the center in three spots — left, middle, and right for side borders; top, middle, and bottom for top/bottom borders. Edges stretch out of shape, so never measure just the outer edge.

➗ Average it out: Add your three measurements together and divide by three. This average is your magic number — cut your border strips to match it.

✂️ Piece if needed: Quilt longer than your fabric? Sew shorter strips together to reach your length. Watch for directional prints in fabrics.

📍 Mark your centers: Find and mark the center of your border strip. Do the same for your quilt edge.

📌 Pin from the center out: Match the two center points and pin. Then pin the outer edges. Big quilt? Add pins at the halfway points between center and edge too, for extra ease control.

🧷 Sides first, then top & bottom. Attach side borders first and press seams. **Re-measure before cutting your top and bottom borders — your quilt's dimensions may have changed.

✨ Flat borders = a quilt that hangs, folds, and quilts beautifully. Skip the shortcuts, trust the math, and your corners will thank you!
