Take one side of the backing and lay it flat, take the other side of the backing and turn a 1/4" under and slip stitch in place. Then you have to go back and hand quilt over this seamed area. Clear as mud, huh? Might be easier to get one of Georgia's books from the Library!
you were on the mark! Lap Quilting was what it was called , and GB method was how I learned. I did two that way, and was pleased with the results. Just can't handle the hand stitching anymore, at least not if I want to ever finish a large size. I do think this method gives a nicer look on the back side, no tapes covering seams.
