dianne Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Hello everyone - i am curious because I have a quilt with seriously friendly borders....what is your favourite "border sucker upper" design aside from bead boards (not the best choice for this particular quilt). Thanks as always, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Any medium-to-large curvy overall like spirals or tendrils. If the fabric has a theme--like florals or leaves--incorporate those repeating motifs within the spirals or tendrils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primitive1 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Is it possible to take a few tucks here and there and then camoflage (sp?) them with quilting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisquilter Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Sometimes if I can, I open a seam, tuck the extra fabric underneath and applique the seam shut. I usually try to do that in place of a tuck. If i have to make a tuck, I always applique the tuck shut . Higher loft battings helps "suck" up the fabric too LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
