When I was researching this earlier, I found a blog post by someone who says that she does some stitch-in-the-ditch quilting, then binds the quilt, then continues with the quilting, for this very reason. It also means she's trimmed her batting and backing, any reduction in size being helpful when using a domestic sewing machine.
