[QUOTE=ube quilting;6484528]I like to baste stitch, just outside to the right of the 1/4" seam, around my quilt before adding the binding. It is so much easier to keep everything in place and not have to worry about it pleating on the back.
This is the way I do it. it helps the backing or the top lay smooth so there are no puckers. Also I have had the backing really fold up. this may seem like more work but I think it is well worth the effort!!!
