i don't hand quilt, so not sure. actually, i tie this type of baby quilt, and do the "false binding" on it.
this is not a quilt that is taped down and pinned, so it is not "tight",understand what i mean? so i would guess, it would have lumps or puckers on the ends,if you used a walking foot..or FMQ'd it.
never tried it ,so it is just my best guess.
As someone who was dumb enough to try quilting a "birthed" quilt (we call it the pillow-cased method in my quilt guild), let me tell you from experience that it does NOT work very well! Despite pin basting and using a walking foot, the quilt bunches up. I only use this method for charity quilts and then I hand tie. I think the slit in back covered with a label is a great suggestion.
