I sometimes have a problem with stetching the quilt or the binding when I am attaching it. Would it help to stitch the end of the quilt to keep it from stretching? I pin my binding on, but by the time I get to the end of one side, I have a little more binding than measured. When my quilts are long armed, the quilter usually trims and stitches the edge of the quilt. Was wondering if this would help me too.

It's possible that my old machine couldn't handle the bulk and so I had to pull. Maybe this won't happen with my new Janome. It has a lot of bells and whistles since it's a quilting machine. I just haven't gotten to binding on my new machine, but will very soon.

Any advice?
