TASTER: Adding Borders to Your Quilt with Valerie Nesbitt
FREE Tasters (Quilting) • Educational, G, 01-Apr-2016
If you like to create quilts from bundles of fabrics then adding borders is also part of the creative process – it not only makes the quilt larger but also adds to the overall effect.
In this workshop Valerie shares some helpful hints on measuring, getting the best from the lengths of fabric that you have. Also she shares tips on pinning and on whether the border is added to the quilt or the quilt added to the border – confused? Well watch and see!
More helpful tips from Valerie on measuring for your quilt can be found at How to Measure and Pin Your Border.
