The videos of these binders show that they seem to work very well. You're supposed to do a basting stitch around the quilt before use to deal with any thickness issues. However, I've not found any good close ups of the final stitching on the back of the quilts. I guess what I'm asking, is would it mainly be for quilts that get used or would the binding pass the muster of judges at a show?
