Wow that sounds like over kill to me there is no way I would do it that way. though I will admit I may have had to many margaritas tonight. I never iron my binding in half and I never pin it to the quilt and only baste my quilt when on the long arm with stitches about 2 inches apart and never use the walking foot and never have tucks in the back or binding.
