Miriam, here is a pic of my double knit wonder. I picked it up at a flea market a couple of years ago for $7.00. It was tagged "king sized bedspread". It's pieced and there is no backing. The edge is bound in thinner black double knit. When I bought it I was going to add a backing and tie it. After I got it home, i washed it then really looked at it. I wimped out on changing it. Whoever bound it, knew what they were doing you can't see any stitching. It's gets some moderate use in the winter, no issues so far with the exposed seams.
