I left three or four inches of batting sticking out the sides while quilting. Too much? How do you deal with this? I'm going to buy stock in lint rollers before I do my next full-size quilt! I'll post pics of the quilt later today. Thanks!
I always have to trim several inches of batting when I pick up my quilt from the LA quilter. I save the batting and piece it to make whole pieces of batting. froggyintexas
