Taming a Wonky Quilt Border

It’s such a common challenge - quilting borders that are either wavy and full, or too tight.
Let’s talk about some ways to manage both scenarios.

A possible topic of maybe how to put borders on so they're not wonky? I've quilted some of my moms quilts and had to put a pleat in the border to get rid of the fullness. Love your program!

I have the hardest time putting pins in the fabric after the quilt is loaded on the longarm…..I can stick the pin in, but I cannot get the point back up to the top….any tips or tricks to do it?

[@meganjeanduguid]

HI - depending on the fragility of the fabric, I use either corsage pins, which are very strong,;or push finer pins through when necessary from the front of the frame and then walk around to the back of the frame, and rock the pins back up, using my left hand to push the pin shaft up (I'm right handed, and get a few steps in too) 😊
