Thanks for the great tutorial!
-
@fperdue33 thank you for sparing me from waves on my first quilt!

The problem with "easing in" is that you will almost always end up with "fullness" in one if not both of the borders. Easing in means you have to compensate for a out of square quilt, which will end up with "waves" or wrinkles when it is longarm quilted. You MUST square up the quilt top BEFORE you add borders, and sorry to say, but the borders must fit the quilt, not fitting the quilt to the borders.

Wonderful! Thank you so much! :)

I wish I considered this when I added the borders to my quilt because I have a bit of warp/warf going on in my quilt

I absolutely agree. In a perfect world, quilts would always be square when finished. When you HAVE to square them up, it's usually better to ease the border than cut off parts of blocks from the top. Not always. If you have to ease so much that you end up with actual wrinkles or pleats in the border, you are better off taking apart the top and fixing the problem. If it is only a small amount, THEN you can ease the border to match the center measurement. That forces to top to be square.
