I want to finish a table runner fast so I turn out, but before I do I trim the batting to real close to that seam, clip any corners and trim the fabric in those seam allowance to abou t 1/8" too. After turning out I press that edge with steam and then pin the body good, fast quilt it down then sew around the edges about 1/4"from those edges....DONE....if I had to make binding, press, sew, flip over and hand sew to back, I would not have my first one done yet! But, we all find what works best for us and go with it...
