You wouldn't have to take the binding OFF the quilt, but just undo the stitching on the back to resew it down. You might get a wider binding on the back, but that's fine, and preferable to a loose and unfilled one.
And here are Sharon Schamber's videos on binding. Watch these to see how do get perfectly tight binding every time. There are 3 parts.
