Preparing the Project Edge

A clean edge makes everything easier.

In this lesson, you’ll learn how to remove hidden variables by preparing your project properly—so your binding can sit evenly and securely.

In this lesson, you’ll learn:

• why pressing your project before trimming matters
• how to stabilise layers with basting
• how to trim for a crisp, accurate edge
• how edge preparation affects your final result

This step removes a lot of the frustration before it even begins.
