The judge we had for our show said that if the binding isn't full she will cut small strips of batting to add in when she is hand stitching down to the back of quilt. She said that the edge of the quilt will last longer if it is full and round. I would never take the time to do that but, that is what she said.

batting in the binding? Do you mean just that the binding needs to be OVER the quilt bat? Surely you don't mean batting added to the binding?
