Never be Stymied by the Math Again!
Do you ever find yourself struggling to finish up a quilt because you’re stymied by measuring and calculating the borders, backing and binding?
One option is to take your top to the nearest quilt shop and let them help you. Or, get a quilting friend to help you work it out.
Another is to use the excellent guide created by for Craftsy. She walks you through all the steps of measuring up and determining how to cut and sew together borders, backing and binding.
You’ll find more in-depth information about measuring to prevent wavy borders here.

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources.
