Oh, yes!!
Now that makes much more sense to me (if the goal is a raggedy binding).
eta:
You trim out the batting BEFORE topstitching?
I'm pretty sure I'd cut either too much and not have enough in the quilt section,
OR not enough and still have to deal with it while snipping.
How do you manage such an accurate cut - rotary or scissor?
Or is this where you pull back the top and backing and cut - cause that never, ever ends well for me.
I just thought after topstiching it would be easier to just cut out batting with a scissor.
