[@carolashworth1282]

I’m going to apply this to Attic windows! Thank you!!!!!

Great tips for success! Thanks so much!

Hi Deb, Thank you so much for your videos. I have learnt so much and I love the straight forward way you teach. Thank you again. I am a big fan!

[@debbiemoshet1892]

Another excellent video! Can you please tell us what quilt that is on your machine in the background?

[@little1942]

I believe that is a Block of the month quilt called “Journeys”. It is available through “stitchinheaven.com” to begin in April. It will use 8 of her rulers for the quilt and will also come with a novella by Marie Bostwick! Each month you get not only your fabrics but a chapter of the book too! I’ve done many BOM quilts through Stitchin Heaven and they are wonderful to work with. I hope that helps.

@@little1942 Thank you. I will check out there website for the pattern or info.

Love your presentations and love this platform where I can save important ones like this one on Miter Math so I can quickly refer back. Thanks.

I've got a few of your rulers and absolutely love them. When I watch your videos, it makes me excited to start another quilt. You have great tips & tricks. Thank you! !

Love these tips on the mitered corners. Always been a challenge but you make it looks so easy and want to try your tips and tricks for this. thanks for sharing

Deb, I just adore you. I don’t quilt, quilts, but I do in bags and other projects. I truly enjoy watching you, and your art of teaching. Thank you for always giving of your expertise. Jon

Do you sew directly on the line you drew or do you sew 1/4 inch out? Love your piece. I truly want to attempt this. Thank you.

[@DebTuckersStudio180Design]

You want to sew on the line that you drew. As you want that seam to go from the seam intersection out.

Thank you so much

Hi Deb, I’m really enjoying this series of videos these past few months, I think they’re your best yet. Thank you so much!

[@Trixy8521]

It's so simple the way you break it down. I've always shied away from mitered borders. I'm looking forward to trying it now. Thank you!

[@virginiafeeley3671]

I think I need to try miters. Thanks for the tips.

[@gwenblaisdell1216]

[@barbararowe771]

Loved this! Thank you. This was very helpful and inspirational.

[@DebTuckersStudio180Design]

Glad it was helpful!

[@debihinkle6100]

ok I got the jest... but... on a rectangular quilt with 3 border strips... measuring sides first easy peezy... question is when measuring the top/bottom... do you measure just the inside of the quilt to start or use the entire width (including side borders) say each side adds 6 inches with a inside measurement say 20". Would I measure B1 at 20 then add B2 B3 OR start B1 at 26"??? Please clairify for my old brain...thanks in advance

[@DebTuckersStudio180Design]

Sorry, it has taken me so long to get back to you. I was away for the International Quilt Market and Festival. You want to measure all the sides pre- pre-borders and then add to that the size of the borders you are adding plus maybe 1" on each side for extra. So if your top and bottom measure 20" and your border is 6" then you add 12"+2" to your top measurement so you have 34". If you are adding a second border beyond this you need to measure the quilt again once these borders are on to figure out what you need to cut for your next round of borders. I hope this helps.

[@little1942]

Finally, someone is addressing the math for mitered borders! I’ve been trying to figured this out for sometime now for a project. Thank you! That said: after doing a project that went from 60” to 102” via six or seven non-mitered borders, I’ve decided there is such thing as TOO MANY borders! Lol. It turned out beautiful though. Love all these “tips and tricks” videos! Thank you!

[@janestewart3002]

2 questions: (1)How wide to you cut the seam allowances at those mitered corners? and (2) Do you press the seam allowances open or to one side?

[@DebTuckersStudio180Design]

I trim so that there is the standard 1/4" seam allowance beyond my stitching when done. I like to press the seam open when mitering, it helps the borders lay flatter.

[@mariagillin2856]

Thank you for sharing another wonderful video. I love 💕 the quilt that is on your machine in the background, do you have the pattern for it ??? Kind regards 🇦🇺😍😍😍

[@little1942]

That is a Block of the Month through Stitchinheaven.com to begin in April. It will use 8 of Debs rulers and will come with a chapter of a novella by Marie Bostwick.

[@sherrynorton9093]

Would be great to have a pdf with the formula for adding border rather than each of us making one!

[@sherryaitcheson2154]

How about try to watch and listen to the video????
