Loose Folded Border


Recommended Posts

Here's hoping someone can help me with suggestions on dealing with a folded loose border. The quilt, which is 108x108, wonderfully pieced and flat has four borders, the innermost is an inch wide, folded flange opening toward the outside of the quilt. I have only had one other similar quilt and had a problem with flange not wanting to lay flat after quilting. This will be a custom job and not an all over.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Barb,

These are really popular edge treatments & I seem to get alot of them.

What I found that works well is to pin the flange over while quilting on one side, & the trick is not to quilt up really close on either side up into the seam allowances. If you do, then it wants to stick straight up!:(

The charm of these edges are that that are loose, but if your customer wants it to lay down flat, then I would suggest that she hand baste/tack them down.

Have fun with it!:)
