I have to admit I was speechless when I first watched this video. Surely that fullness was obvious from the beginning. First, That quilt would have been sent back to it's mother for a tummy tuck! LOL I really think taking a few well placed pleats would have looked better than so much fullnss. I really liked her choice of border design. I thought it was perfect to work in the fullness. Could you imaging if that was a feather border? Makes me shudder just to think about it! I once had a customer that just added border after border to a quilt that started out twin size and ended up queen size. NO MEASURING!. I got about 1/3 of the way down and it was obvious that this fullness was not going to work out. I called the customer and took the quilt off the frame. She took inches, yes inches, out of those borders! She brought it back and I finished quilting. It turned out great, but boy did I sweat that one! BTW, I love to quilt one handed! The M & M wheels make it so easy!

Great video.  I have customers who like the puffy look and would be happy with this faux trapunto border.

 

I too would have worked hard to keep the border straighter from the start.....but I learned from her technique.  I know I don't quilt with one hand well, but maybe it's something I'll need one day.

Well, to each his own...I would have taken off those borders and taken out some of that fullness (after notifying the customer of the problem first).
