Another wonderful demonstration Victoria. If I wanted to produce a longer strip to use as a border, would you recommend gluing several templates together first and using or sewing individual herringbone strips and then joining to required length needed? I will order your templates. I already have the Flying Geese templates and hope to incorporate into a project in the near future.
Thanks so much for watching the demo! Glad you enjoyed watching 🙂 If you are looking to use the design for a border, I think I would be tempted to make a longer strip. That way you are avoiding additional bulky seams. The pdf has some instructions for joining strips together, but they have been designed so that you essentially overlap the seam allowances to continue the design.
