LOVE the elastic marking technique. I've used the adding machine tape but find the elastic technique priceless. Thanks ladies. As usual a great great video.

Hello! I have been entertaining grandkids and having a fun summer but life is getting busier thru August. I hope you have a fun filled week ahead! Thank you for posting your video and for all that you do for the quilting community!

Once again ladies, A Terrific tutorial. Have any of the instructors done a video tutorial showing how to turn a quilt that has had upper and bottom borders quilted, taken off the frame turned sideways and reattached to the frame? I'm lost...NO SURPRISE! Kristina, SO nice to meet you at Quilt Wyoming 2022. I am sorry you were under the weather. I hope to meet you also Kim, some day!

Hi from Kansas

Hi from Ky

These are some great ideas for simple boarders. Thank you! Question: is the mono poly thread scratchy like the invisible nylon (fishing line type) thread is?

I don't find it to be scratchy.

I would like a tutorial on matching up digitized corners and borders. I don't do fm. ty

Here is a recent video where we did borders with Pro-Stitcher. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z3ua29yPZZexmKg.html

so, when your doing the sides of the quilt are you advancing the quilt or breaking thread and finishing both sides first? I want to echo a boarder on both sides of the boarder. In order to not break thread I'll have to advance and retract the entire quilt twice. or do you recommend breaking thread so you can do the double echo on both sides and then advance? which do you recommend?

With chunking (doing the section of side border in your throat space), you will need to break your thread after each section so you can do both sides. If you are wanting to do multiple passes on the border, I would recommend rotating the quilt after doing the top, center, and bottom. Rotate the quilt so that the sides become the new top/bottom and you can do it all without breaking your thread.

Great question. In addition, do you do all of the side markings before loading onto the frame so that the spacing is equal through out the side?

The elastic is an awesome trick!! One thing though, you did not address how we should tackle going down the sides, it would require pre-marking. xxxxxx

@kristinawhitneyhqstudioedu7013

You can do pre-marking or I usually rotate the quilt to do the side borders.

How are you going to square up your quilt after you quilt it if you are taking your design almost to the edge? It would be ok with most E2E designs, but those cornerstone designs you are doing are going to be trimmed off when you square the quilt. Right?

@HandiQuilter

We keep the quilt as square as possible during the stitching process. We also leave a little bit of wiggle room so that if some minor trimming is needed, we won't loose a big portion of the design.

do you stitch in the ditch first for all of the borders

It depends on the quilt and my mood. Some quilts really need the sid and other don't. As for the order, I usually sid prior to doing the stitching for the section that is available in my throat space.

Where can I get those markers? 😊

Another easy way to do the math is to use adding machine, tape cut to size of area to quilt, fold in half and fold again until desired size open out folded tape and make marks

Hi from very hot Newbury Berkshire

Interesting …. BUT …. Too much time where the camera is aimed at the talking heads instead of at the surface of the quilt / tool that is being talked about; also the constant looking off camera to the top corner is highly distracting and annoying. Such good information shouldn’t be buried under a poor video presentation.
