Some people don't add binding if they are hand tying. This is commonly called the birthing method. The backing is placed right side up, batting and the top is face down, when sewing around the edges you leave a large opening for turning and hand/machine sew the opening closed. Then you hand tie it.
Some battings do not do well in hand tying...lofty polyesters for example. They will migrate and bunch up during laundring.
I would be more concerned over how far apart they recommend the quilting to be. That would also determine whether or not it would be good for hand tying.
