For a piano key type pieced border, I would just press all the seams in the same direction, and be sure to pin the border to the quilt with the seams facing away from the needle and feed dogs as it goes through the sewing machine, so they won't get flipped and stitched in the wrong direction.

Stay stitching the outside edge of any final border makes sense because we don't usually backstitch those seams.

LadyRags OFFLINE Posts: 1571 Thank you received: 43	I have a pieced boarder ( piano style) and I am told I should stay stitch so the various seams stay flat before I attach it to the quilt. I am just wondering if this should be done? What do the award winning quilters do? Any tips would be appreciated. Lady Rags .
