I am not sure what this is all about, just read it but read something about pulling the mtl. from the back to the front?? For what purpose, to bind the quilt? Well, I am here to tell u this.............if that is what u did or doing.........I luv !!!! I just watched a show that Donna Dewberry did on a crazy quilt, quick. She laid the backing down, batting and started quilting by laying a center square, then "cheating"...lol......by folding squares in half and placing them all over the quilt on diff. angles to cover selvages. Then took long strips and folded both sides in for a binding, all folded remember.......then she pineed it all, all of it and took to the machine and sewed it all at once. She zigzagged all the squares on top and sewed the binding by pulling the backing over and stitched...wow so neat and fast and beautiful.....So if this is what the "cheating" is about then I guess a well know artist is bad too!!!! If she can show it on her show as a short cut and not cheating, but something nice, then I guess it is acceptable for sure!!! It was great and then I read this, wow....so u will have to let me know if this is the same thing or not.....but I had to share this with u and all......
