When you’re sewing quilt borders, slip stitches are a good choice because they are invisible, making it possible to achieve the perfect stitch.

Sashing is sometimes also called a lattice. It’s the joining of fabric strips between quilt blocks to form borders. Some quilts have sashing around the individual blocks. In others, the border is around all the blocks, collectively.
