I think it is a great idea, too. I just got a quilt back and the quilter made a comment about my batting being hard to work with because it didn't have a scrim (sp). I have no idea what she means, but need to find out before I ask her to do another one. I don't want it to be a bigger pain than it has to be. I guess it might make a difference on the ones I do myself, too. I'll post a pic when I get the binding on.
